I need to write a program in C that reads in an english sentence and converts it into piglatin according to 3 rules. All the rules are working correctly; however, it seemes that the program only executes 2 words: the last 2 words in the sentence. Also, since I have played around with fixing that problem, the YES/NO function isnt ececuting properly. Any help would be appreciated, this is only the beginning of the function which is required to have 11 functions.
Here is what i have so far:
include<stdio.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<string.h>
char *vowel(char *orig);
char *twoletter(char *orig);
char *lastrule(char *orig);
void YesNo(char check);
char newW[80];
char newV[80];
char newD[80];
char newL[80];
int main()
{
char sentence[1000];
char piglatin[1000];
char orig[1000];
char check;
int i=0, a=0, b=0, length;
//clear screen
printf("Please enter a sentence in all CAPS to be translated into piglatin\n");
/* Gets sentence stored in array "sentence[]"*/
while((sentence[i]=getchar())!='\n')
{
i++;
}
sentence[i]='\0'; //adds null character at end
length=strlen(sentence); //# of elements stored in length
/* Reads a word at a time and checks rule */
while(a<=length)
{
orig[b]=sentence[a];
if(orig[b]==' '||orig[b]=='\0')
{
orig[b]='\0';
b=0;
if(orig[0]=='A'||orig[0]=='E'||orig[0]=='I'||orig[0]=='O'||orig[0]=='U')
{
vowel(orig);//function call for vowel rule
strcat(piglatin, newV);
strcat(newV, " ");
strcpy(newW, newV);
}//end of if
else if(orig[0]=='T'&&orig[1]=='H'||orig[0]=='C'&&orig[1]=='H'||orig[0]=='S'&&orig[1]=='H'||orig[0]=='P'&&orig[1]=='H'||orig[0]=='W'&&orig[1]=='H'||orig[0]=='Q'&&orig[1]=='U')
{
twoletter(orig); //function call for 2 letter rule
strcat(piglatin, newD);
strcat(newD, " ");
strcpy(newW, newD);
}//end of else if
else
{
lastrule(orig); //function call for last rule
strcat(piglatin, newL);
strcat(newL, " ");
strcpy(newW, newL);
}//end of else
}//end of if
else
{
strcpy(piglatin, newW);
b++;
}//end of else
a++;
}//end of while
printf("\nThe length is %d, i= %d:",length,i);
printf("\n\nYour translated piglatin sentence is: \n%s ", piglatin);
printf("\n\nWould you like to enter another sentence to be translated(Y/N)?: ");
scanf(" %c", &check);
YesNo(check);
return(0);
}//end of main
char *vowel(char *orig)
{
strcat(orig,"AY");
strcpy(newV, orig);
return(newV);
}//end of function
char *twoletter(char orig[])
{
char first, append[]="H";
first=orig[0];
if(orig[1]=='H')
{
orig+=2; //point at 3rd char
append[0] = first; //add on the starting letter
strcat(orig, append);
strcat(orig,"HAY"); //and then the 'H' and "AY"
}//end of IF
if(orig[1]=='U')
{
orig+=2;
append[0] = first;
strcat(orig, append);
strcat(orig, "UAY");
}//end of IF
strcpy(newD, orig);
return(newD);
}//end of function
char *lastrule(char orig[])
{
char first;
char append[]="H";
first=orig[0]; //gets first letter of word
orig++;
append[0] = first;
strcat(orig,append);
strcat(orig,"AY");
strcpy(newL, orig);
return(newL);
}//end of function
void YesNo(char check)
{
