Question

Write a program that reads in a paragraph up and outputs the paragraph with spacing corrected and with letters corrected for capitalization in C++. In other words, in the output paragraph, all strings of two or more blanks should be compressed to a single blank. The sentences should start with an uppercase letter but should contain no other uppercase letters. Do not worry about proper 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 all the sentences in the paragraph end with a period and contains no other periods, and the paragraph ends with an extra period.

Sample Input:

the Answer to life, the Universe, and everything
IS 42. This program Reads
in a line of text, counts
and outputs the number of words in

the line and the number of occurrences of each letter..

Sample Output:

The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42. This program reads in a line of text, counts and outputs the number of words in the line and the number of occurrences of each letter.

Explanation / Answer

Here is the below code:

#include "StdAfx.h"

#include <iostream>

#include <cctype>

#include "windows.h"    

using namespace std;

void cap(char input[]);

int main()

{

char input[100];

cout << "Greetings!" <<endl;

cout << "This program will ask for you to input a sentence." <<endl;

cout << "After you input your sentence, the program will" <<endl;

cout << "print your sentence back out with the first letter" <<endl;

cout << "of each word in capital form." << endl;

cout << "Please enter up to 99 characters" <<endl;

cin.getline(input, 100);

cap(input);

cout <<endl;

system("PAUSE");

return 0;

}

void cap(char input[])

{

if(input[0] != ' ')

input[0] = toupper(input[0]);

for (int count = 0; count <= 99; count++)

{

if(input[count] == ' ' || input[count]== ',' || input[count]==';' ||input[count]== '.')

input[count+1]=toupper(input[count+1]);

}

cout << input;

}
