Answer:
The programming language is not stater; However, I'll answer this question using C++.
This program does not use comments (See explanation)
See Attachment for program file
Program starts here
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string response;
cout<<"What kind of swallow?\n";
cin>>response;
for(int i =0; i<response.length();i++)
{
response[i]=toupper(response[i]);
}
if(response == "AFRICAN")
{
cout<<"Yes, it could grip it by the husk.";
}
else if(response == "EUROPEAN")
{
cout<<"A five-ounce bird could not carry a one-pound coconut.";
}
else
{
cout<<"You really are not fit to be a king.";
}
return 0;
}
Explanation:
string response; -> A string variable to hold user input is declared
cout<<"What kind of swallow?\n"; -> prompts user for input
cin>>response; -> user input is stored here
The following iteration converts user input to uppercase; so that the program will work for inputs like African, AFRICAN, AFriCAN, etc.
for(int i =0; i<response.length();i++)
{
response[i]=toupper(response[i]);
}
The following if statement prints "Yes, it could grip it by the husk." if user input is AFRICAN
if(response == "AFRICAN")
{
cout<<"Yes, it could grip it by the husk.";
}
Otherwise, if user input is EUROPEAN, it prints; "A five-ounce bird could not carry a one-pound coconut."
else if(response == "EUROPEAN")
{
cout<<"A five-ounce bird could not carry a one-pound coconut.";
}
Lastly; for every inputs different from AFRICAN and EUROPEAN, the program displays "You really are not fit to be a king."
else
{
cout<<"You really are not fit to be a king.";
}
