C++ programming Project
Sometimes when a memo is boring, a programmer with some free time is tempted to make the memo more entertaining. This assignment asks you to write a C++ program “funnymemo” to make a boring memo funny by inserting adjectives into the text. The input to your program should be copied to the output, with adjectives inserted between all consecutive occurrences of an article and a noun.
For our purposes in this assignment: A “word” is a sequence of characters beginning with a letter and followed by zero or more letters or digits. An “article” is one of the following words: a, an, the. Note that words may have capital letters anywhere in the word. This implies that all of the following are “articles”: a, A, an, An, aN, the, The, tHe, thE, THe, tHE, THE. For our purposes here, the word after an article is a noun, by definition.
When an adjective is inserted between an article and a noun, the article should be inserted according to the following rules
1. If the noun that follows the article begins with a lowercase letter, then the adjective should be in all lowercase letters.
2. If the noun that follows the article is all capital letters, then the adjective should be all capital letters.
3. Otherwise, the adjective should begin with a capital letter and have all other letters be lowercase.
4. If the noun begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o or u), and the adjective does not, and the article is “an”, then the article should output as “a”.
5. If the adjective begins with a vowel and the article is “a”, then the article should output as “an”.
Here are some examples, where the adjectives “silly” and “awkward” are added:
BEFORE funnymemo AFTER funnymemo
A day A silly day
A day An awkward day
A Walk A Silly Walk
A Walk An Awkward Walk
the fISH the silly fISH
the fISH the awkward fISH
an ANACONDA a SILLY ANACONDA
an ANACONDA an AWKWARD ANACONDA
Your program should accept two command line arguments. The first argument is the adjective to be inserted into the memo. The second argument is the name of a text file containing the input text for the memo. Your program should read the file named in the second argument as input and generate its output to standard [login to view URL] the program finds an article followed by a word, it should insert the adjective provided in the first command line argument, according to the rules given above. The program finishes when the end of the input file is reached.
Remember that your program needs to check for errors and react appropriately. What happens if the proper number of command line arguments are not provided? What if the text file cannot be opened? What happens if there is an article on one line and the noun on the next line? What should happen in the case when the last word in the input file is an article?
