Introduction

I am posting this assignment a little late, so let's keep it simple and open-ended. Have as much fun as you like.

Spec: Mad Libs

Do Problem 2 on Page 225 of your textbook, with a few small additions:

• At least one of the placeholders must be a name or proper noun.


• Be sure to strip any blank spaces at the front or end of the string entered by the user.


• Be sure that words are capitalized properly in the story. For example, if a placeholder is the first word in a sentence, capitalize it. Otherwise, regular words should be lowercase, and only name and proper nouns should be capitalized.

Name your program mad_libs.py.

Demonstration of Correctness

Start a fresh Python shell. Run your program in the shell at least three times, with inputs that demonstrate the features of your program. Save your shell to a text file named interactions.py.

Deliverables

By the due date and time, submit:

• interactions.py
• mad_libs.py

Use the on-line submission system.

Make sure that your program meets the course programming standards.
