Noun Issue..

cant figure out how to get this to work.

every thing seems find but i cant get if some one enter some thing other then y s ch sh

add a 's' to the end of it.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void findPlural(char *  input, char* &plural);

void findPlural(char *  input, char* &plural)


{
    int lenght;
    
    
    lenght = strlen(input);
    

    if (input[lenght -1] == 'y') 
    {
        strcpy(plural,input);
        input[lenght -1] = 'i';
        strcat(plural, "es");
        
    } 
    
   else if (input[lenght -1] == 's'|| 'ch' || 'sh')
    {
       strcpy(plural,input);
       input[lenght -1] = 'e';
        strcat(plural, "s");
    }
    else if (input[lenght -1] != 's'||'ch'||'sh'||'y')
    {
        strcpy(plural,input);
       input[lenght -1] = 's';
        strcpy(plural,input);
    }
    
}
int main ()
{
    char noun[30];
    
    char * pural;
    
    
    pural = new char[30];
    
    cout << "Enter a noun" ; 
    cin >> noun;
    
   findPlural(noun, pural);
    
    cout << " The Plural of " << noun << " is " << pural << endl; 
    
    return 0;
}

its doing my head in.... also for some reason the Noun should read out what i type in and the pural should have Either s,es, ies to to end of the String/Char..

Can you give us some examples of what you input and what you get back?

I'm guessing that English isn't your first language?


Try changing this

else if (input[lenght -1] == 's'|| 'ch' || 'sh')



to this

else if (input[lenght -1] == 's' || (input[length-2] == 'c' && input[length-1] == 'h'))
{
strcpy(plural,input);
strcat(plural, "es");
}
