So this is a homework assignment. It's a variation of the madlib assignment most students seem to have to do. We are not allowed to use String class.
(i don't know what that is yet, I just know most examples I've found online use it, and our instructions say we cant)
Program has to prompt user for a filename, read a file into a character array, seek out tokens <> and either correct the punctuation in the token, or prompt the user for what is in the token (ex. adjective, noun, plural noun.)
I know my program works up until the punctuation function I tried to get it to cout the array after it goes through the punctuation function, but it only have the first line of the array. Also, I've been working on the display function but nothing seems to work. I've tried running the madLib array in a loop and the responseArray in a loop inside the madLib loop but that didn't work....My question is
1. Can someone look over my punctuation function and tell me if there is anything wrong? I've been staring at it for a while and I'm just not seeing it.
2. can someone help me in any way understand how to substitute in user input into the original madLib array and then display it?
Thanks so much for any help you can give!!!!
