Question

Write a program that reads in a sentence of up to 100 characters and outputs the sentence with spacing corrected and with letters corrected for capitilization. In other words, in the output sentence , all strings of two or mor blanks should be compressed to a single blank. The sentence should start with an uppercase letter but should contain no other uppercase letters. Do not worry about propr names; if their first letters are changed to lowercase, that is acceptable. Treat a line break as if it were a blank, in the sense that a line break and any number of blanks are compressed to a single blank. Assume that the sentence neds with a period and contains no other periods. For example, the input

the Answer to life, the Universe, and everything IS 42.

sould produce the following output:

The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42.
