Question & Answer: h05/ Input of Croatie->la Croatie Input of Bolivie->la Bolivie Input of Guyane->la Guyane X Input of Costa Rica: expected [le Cost…..

Given below is the fixed code.

All tests pass except Honduras. It ends with “as” and according to your condition , names ending with “as” should get prefix as “les” and that is what your code does. But the screenshot expects “la” . I am not sure if there is any exception rule for it. Please check that out.

The fixes to your code are

1. You should use if-else-if… otherwise after the if-else in beginning assigns masculine gender/plain, the last else where “le” is assigned gets executed. By make if-else if continuously , you make only one of the prefix and that will not be re-assigned in another if/else block.

2. the condition for checking masculine and plain should compare against string::npos which was not done. Also checking if lastCharacter is “o”, you had omitted the comparison operator.

I have highlighted the fixes other than making it multiple if-else if…

Since the rules are not posted in Question, I am unable to figure out how Honduras is to classified.

Hope the answer helps. If it did, please don’t forget to rate it. Thank you very much.
