ANALYSIS
We will write a program to produce ten buzzword phrases. The stages of the program are:
1 Store the words in three string arrays.
2 Choose three random numbers which will be the subscripts of the array variables.
3 Print the phrase.
4 Repeat 2 and 3 ten times.
DESIGN - VARIABLES
We identify three arrays of which the first two will contain adjectives or words used as adjectives -
describing words. The third array will hold the nouns. There are 13 words in each section and the
longest word has 16 characters including a hyphen.
DESIGN – PROCEDURES
We use three procedures to match the jobs identified.
store_data - stores the three sets of thirteen words.
get_random - gets three random numbers in range 1 to 13.
make_phrase - prints a phrase.
DESIGN - MAIN PROGRAM
This is very simple because the main work is done by the procedures.
Declare (DIM) the arrays
Store_data
FOR ten phrases
get_random
make_phrase
