Project 4 Comments

Remarks:

• What to submit: Please turn in sample runs on all the examples shown on the hand out as well as test4.

• Definitely use GetLine() to read in the user's input, one line at a time. You can tell where the end of the input line is because you can use StringLength() to determine the length of the string.

• You should process each line as it is entered, instead of trying to store all the lines. (There is no limit on the number of lines the user will enter.)

• Dealing with blank lines (lines with no characters as well as lines containing only white space) is the hardest part of the project. Think through this part thoroughly before writing any code.

• The test file has lines that contains only spaces, lines with spaces at the end, and tab characters. So, if you can get your program to work when you type in the input, but not when you use the test file, you may have failed to consider one of the cases mentioned above.
