(Random Sentences) Write a program that uses random number generation to create sentences. The program should use four arrays of pointers to char called article, noun, verb and preposition. The program should create a sentence by selecting a word at random from each array in the following order: article, noun, verb, preposition, article and noun. As each word is picked, it should be concatenated to the previous words in an array large enough to hold the entire sentence. The words should be separated by spaces. When the final sentence is output, it should start with a capital letter and end with a period. The program should generate 20 such sentences. The arrays should be filled as follows: The article array should contain the articles "the", "a", "one", "some" and "any"; the noun array should contain the nouns "boy", "girl", "dog", "town" and "car"; the verb array should contain the verbs "drove", "jumped", "ran", "walked" and "skipped"; the preposition array should contain the prepositions "to", "from", "over", "under" and "on".

Question

(Pig Latin) Write a program that encodes English-language phrases into pig Latin. Pig Latin is a form of coded language often used for amusement. Many variations exist in the methods used to form pig-Latin phrases. For simplicity, use the following algorithm: To form a pig-Latin phrase from an English-language phrase, tokenize the phrase into words with function strtok. To translate each English word into a pig-Latin word, place the first letter of the English word at the end of the English word and add the letters “ay.” Thus the word “jump” becomes “umpjay,” the word “the” becomes “hetay” and the word “computer” becomes “omputercay.” Blanks between words remain as blanks. Assume the following: The English phrase consists of words separated by blanks, there are no punctuation marks, and all words have two or more letters. Function print Latin Word should display each word. [Hint: Each time a token is found in a call to strtok, pass the token pointer to function print Latin Word, and print the pig-Latin word. Note: We’ve provided simplified rules for converting words to Pig Latin here. For more detailed rules and variations, visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig latin.]

First, let's think for a minute about what the main program will look like. We start by declaring the variables, and then by prompting the user to enter a sentence. Then, we tokenize the given string with the help of a strtok function, and use the while loop in a combination with the pointer to the tokens, so that we can call the function for printing pig latin words for every word given in the sentence. The pseudocode might look like this:

getTheString()
tokenizeTheString()
while (pointer points to the string token)
    printPigLatinWord(string token)
    moveThePointerToTheNextStringToken()
