Recitation Exercise -- Arrays

Recitation Exercise -- Strings

Exercise:

Write an application that uses random-number generation to create sentences. Use four arrays of strings called article, noun, verb, and preposition. Create a sentence by selecting a word at random from each array in the following order:

  article, noun, verb, preposition, article, noun

As each word is picked, concatenate it to the previous words in the sentence. The words should be separated by spaces. When the final sentence is output, it should start with a capital letter and end with a period. The application should generate 20 sentences and output them to a text area.

The article array should contain the articles: "the", "a", "one", "some", "any"
The noun array should contain the nouns: "boy", "girl", "dog", "town", "car"
The verb array should contain the verbs: "drove", "jumped", "ran", "walked", "skipped"
The preposition array should contain the prepositions: "to", "from", "over", "under", "on"

I've started this for you in the file Sentences.java. Download this file and complete it by writing the makeSentence() method. Note that you are completing this task by putting together a sentence into a single string to return, NOT by printing things out word by word.
