Question: Function Name: Processor( ) Inputs: 1. ( char ) An incorrectly formatted list of ingredients 2. ( char ) The single ingredient you are looking
Function Name: Processor( )
Inputs:
1. ( char ) An incorrectly formatted list of ingredients
2. ( char ) The single ingredient you are looking for
Outputs:
1. ( char ) A sentence outputting how much of the specified ingredient you need
Topics: ( char strings ), ( sprintf ), ( LHS/RHS indexing )
Background:
You're cleaning out your kitchen and you come across an old recipe book. Unfortunately, the ingredient lists for each recipe are filled with typos, and you can not tell how
much of each ingredient you need. But, it seems like someone before you has left tips
telling you how to translate the recipes, so you turn to MATLAB to figure it out.
Function Description:
Given a 1xN char vector with a jumbled list of ingredients and a 1xM char vector of a
single ingredient, use the following instructions to determine how much of the ingredient you
need:
1. You realize the list is written backwards, so first you must reverse the entire list such that
the last letter becomes the first letter, the second-to-last letter becomes the second
letter.
2. Next, Delete every exclamation mark that appears.
3. Now, find the starting index of the desired ingredient (input 2) The starting
index of the ingredient in the list represents the amount of that ingredient that you need.
4. Lastly, output a sentence summarizing what you need with the following format:
'I need to buy
Be sure to print the specified ingredient exactly as it was given to you (all lowercase).
Example:
list = '!!!IwIk!N!o!M!e!L!'
ingredient = 'kiwi'
[str] = Processor(list, ingredient)
str 'I need to buy 6 kiwi(s).'
Notes:
The incorrectly formatted list may contain both upper and lowercase letters. The list will
not contain any spaces or special characters other than '!'.
The ingredient you are searching for (input 2) will always be one word. It will always be
lowercase and will not contain any spaces or special characters.
The ingredient you are searching for may contain both upper and lowercase letters when
it appears in the list.
The ingredient you are searching for is guaranteed to appear only once in the list.
When outputting the final sentence, print the ingredient exactly as it was given to you.
Hints:
Consider case-sensitivity (i.e. mAtLaB is not the same as
MATLAB)
Please solve without using Conditional Statements and Iterations!!!!!!
