Instructions
Jack just completed the program for the Flesch text analysis from this chapter’s case study. His supervisor, Jill, has discovered an error in his code. The error causes the program to count a syllable containing consecutive vowels as multiple syllables.
Suggest a solution to this problem in Jack’s code and modify the program so that it handles these cases correctly.
An example text and the program input and output is shown below:
example.txt
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep.
Enter the file name: example.txt
The Flesch Index is 102.045
The Grade Level Equivalent is 1
3 sentences
18 words
21 syllables
