Structure of the program:

char* change_to_plural ( char* input_string ); // Implement this function

void main() {

//Declare required variables

//Read string

//Convert word read to represent plural by calling function

//Print the plural word

}

Explanation / Answer

PROGRAM CODE:

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;

char* change_to_plural ( char* input_string )
{
   int len = strlen(input_string);
   //checking for y at the end
   if(input_string[len-1] == 'y')
   {
      input_string[len-1] = '';
      strcat(input_string, "ies");
   }
   //checking for s or s and h
   else if(input_string[len-1] == 's' || (input_string[len-2] == 's' && input_string[len-1] == 'h'))
      strcat(input_string, "es");
   else
   //all other words
      strcat(input_string, "s");
   return input_string;
}
int main() {
   //using char array to get the noun from the user
   char noun[100];
   cout<<"Enter the noun: ";
   cin>>noun;
   //passing the noun as a pointer to the function
   change_to_plural (noun);
   //the noun variable directly gets altered
   cout<<" Plural: "<<noun<<endl;
   return 0;
}
