Assignment 13 — stringing it altogether

Due Wednesday, September 25

---

Program chatter.py

• The program generates random sentences based on words provided by the user.

• Steps to be carried out

• Prompt for a word and use the word as the seed for random generation

• Prompt for adjectives and create a list of adjectives by splitting up the user reply.

• Prompt for nouns and create a list of nouns by splitting up the user reply.

• Prompt for verbs and create a list of verbs by splitting up the user reply.

• Use the random module choice() capability to generate a sentence of form

w₁ w₂ w₃ w₄ w₅

where w₁ is a random adjective, w₂ is a random noun, w₃ is a random verb, w₄ is a random adjective, and w₅ is a random noun. You are to choose the parts of the sentence in order; that is, first w₁, then w₂, then w₃, then w₄, and lastly w₅.

• Print sentence w₁ w₂ w₃ w₄ w₅

• The functions and methods in the module writeups will probably help (especially str method split(), and random functions seed() and choice().

• You may assume the user types at least one word after each prompt.
