Instructions
Madlibs* is a word game in which words are removed from a story and the player fills in the blanks without knowing the context. The resulting story is often very amusing or nonsensical, so it has been a source of entertainment for many.
Copy and paste the following code into a Java IDE. You will also need to download Std libraries from Princeton University COS126 booksite: https://lift.cs.princeton.edu/java/mac/. When compiling, use javac-introcs, and when running, use java-introcs.
Attached are three sample template stories you can use. Save them to a text file and use the text file name as a command-line argument.
You can also customize your own story by writing your story and indicating which words you want to remove as blanks by typing in '/' followed by the type of word it is, such as /noun or /adjective. Make sure to leave a space before any punctuation. After your story, place three successive hyphens (---) and then duplicate your story beneath it. (See sample stories for format).
*We do not own Madlibs.
