Before you keep reading...
Runestone Academy can only continue if we get support from individuals like you. As a student you are well aware of the high cost of textbooks. Our mission is to provide great books to you for free, but we ask that you consider a $10 donation, more if you can or less if $10 is a burden.
Before you keep reading...
Making great stuff takes time and $$. If you appreciate the book you are reading now and want to keep quality materials free for other students please consider a donation to Runestone Academy. We ask that you consider a $10 donation, but if you can give more thats great, if $10 is too much for your budget we would be happy with whatever you can afford as a show of support.
17.2. Making MadLib Stories, Easier
You might recall this example from earlier in this section of the book.
What if we want to change this story? We can change the values for firstName
, lastName
, gender
, address
, and verb
. But, if we change each of these we are changing 5 lines. Is there another way to do this? What if we want to specify the values like this inputs="Pat,Smith,boy,65 Elm Street,eat"
? Can we do that?
Sure, we can – if we can take that string apart. The computer knows how to break larger pieces of data into smaller ones.
