Problem(programing C)

Generate random sentences ( a modified version from a book Deital and Deital starting with C )

Your program will generate sentences using four arrays : article, noun, verb , preposition. Each word is picked from the arrays in the following order - Article, noun_1, verb, preposition, article and noun_2.

define four arrays :

char article [ ] [ 6 ] = { "the", "some" , "That" } ;

char noun_1 [ ] [ 6 ] = { "boy", "girl", "dog" } ;

char verb [ ] [ 7 ] = { "drove", "ran", "barked" } ;

char preposition [ ] [ 6 ] = { "to", "at", "over", "into" } ;

char noun_2 [ ] [ 6 ] = { "ditch", "house", "bridge", "city" } ;

A article won't appear twice in the same sentence.

The first letter in the sentence is upper case.

There is a space between each word.

There is a period at the end of each sentence.

Generate at least five sentences.

Explanation / Answer

This program will generate random sentences based on above requirement.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>

/* Definition of function for sentence generation */

void sentenceGenerator(char article[], char noun[],
                   char verb[],char preposition[], char noun_2[]);
  
/* main program */

int main()
{
int i = 0;

char article[6] = { "the", "some" , "That" } ;  
char noun[6] = { "boy", "girl", "dog" };
char verb[7] = { "drove", "ran", "barked" } ;
char preposition[6] = { "to", "at", "over", "into" } ;
char noun_2[ 6 ] = { "ditch", "house", "bridge", "city" } ;

while(i<=7){
sentenceGenerator( article, noun, verb, preposition , noun_2);
i++;
}
system ("pause");
return 0;                                                       /* Indicates successful termination */
}

/* Function Prototype */
void sentenceGenerator(char article[], char noun[],
                   char verb[],char preposition[], char noun_2[])
{
char sentence[20];                                  

sprintf("%s %s %s %s %s %s.",article       [srand(time(0)) % 5],noun       [srand(time(0)) % 5],verb       [srand(time(0)) % 5],preposition   [srand(time(0)) % 5],noun_2       [srand(time(0)) % 5]);

sentence[0] = toupper( sentence[0] );                  
}
