Question & Answer: Write a program that manipulates a string entered by the user……

Program #1 String Processing  – Based on Chapter 10

Write a program that manipulates a string entered by the user.

The program should start by asking the user to enter a word, a sentence, or a string of numbers.  Store whatever the user enters into a C++ string.

The program should then display the following menu:

USE THIS MENU TO MANIPULATE YOUR STRING

—————————————-

1) Inverse String

2) Reverse String

3) To Uppercase

4) Jumble String                                                    4-1 Sample Run

5) Count Number Words

6) Count Consonants

7) Enter a Different String

8) Print the String

Q) Quit

¨      If the user selects 1:  Inverse the upper and lower case letters of the string.  If the string contains numeric characters or special characters do not change them.  NOTE:  This option should actually change the string to its inverse.  Note this option does not display the changed string.  If a user wanted to inverse the string and then display the string’s inverse they would select option 1 and then they would select option 8.

Example:  If the string is:  My name is John and I am 20 years old.

The inverse would be:  mY NAME IS jOHN AND i AM 20 YEARS OLD.

¨      If the user selects 2: – Reverse the order of the characters in the string.  NOTE:  This option should actually change the string to its reverse.  Note this option does not display the changed string.  If a user wanted to reverse the string and then display the string’s reverse they would select option 2 and then they would select option 8.

Example:  If the string is:  2015

The reverse would be:  5102

¨      If the user selects 3:  Convert all of the characters in the string to uppercase.  If the String contains numeric characters or special characters do not change them.  NOTE:  This option should actually change the string to all uppercase letters.  Note this option does not display the changed string.  If a user wanted to change the string to uppercase and then display the new string (in all uppercase) they would select option 3 and then they would select option 8.

¨      If the user selects 4:– Call a function named jumbleString.  The jumbleString function takes a string as input and displays a jumbled version of that string.   The jumbleString function should be called using current version of the string an argument (input) to the function.

Example:  If the string passed to the jumbleString function is: hello

A jumbled version of the word would be:  elhlo

Note 1: there are many different jumbled versions of each word that the jumbleString function could display.  So elhlo is not the only correct output for the above example.

Note 2:  Notice that this option does not actually change the string like the first two menu selections do, the jumbleString function just displays a jumbled version of the string rather than actually changing the string

¨      If the user selects 5: Call a function named countWords that counts the number of words in the current string and displays a message stating how many words are in the string

Examples:    The string “2015” has one word

The string “Hello World” has two words

The string “  I     am     Woman     ” has 3 words

¨      If the user selects 6:  Call a function named countConsonants that counts the number of consonants in the current string and displays a message indicating how many consonants the string contains.  Consonants are letters that aren’t vowels.

Example:  If the string is:  Hello

The number of consonants is: 3

So display:  “The number of consonants in the string is 3.”

¨      If the user selects 7:  Let the user enter another string for processing.  (This should just change the string stored in the original string variable you created at the beginning of the program)

¨      If the user selects 8:  Print the String

o   So if the original string was “Hello” and the user processed the string with option 3 followed by option 2, followed by option 8, the string would print out as “OLLEH” (This is hello first converted to uppercase and then reversed).

¨      If the user selects ‘Q’ or ‘q’: Quit the program

¨      Allow the user to continue processing strings (using the menu) until they select ‘Q’ or ‘q’ to quit

¨      If the user makes an invalid menu selection, print an error message to the screen

Your program must include the following three functions (you can include more if you want):

1.      countWords:  A function that takes a string as an argument and counts the number of words in it  (this function should return an int which is the number of words in the string)

2.      countConsonants:  A function that takes a string as an argument and counts the number of consonants in it  (this function should return an int which is the number of consonants in the string)

3.      jumbleString:  A function that take a string as an argument and displays a jumbled version of the original string.
