Question

Write a program to cheer for your favourite team at the sports carnival. Since I don't play any real world sports, my program would work like this:

Cheer: gryffindor
Give me a g, g!
Give me a r, r!
Give me a y, y!
Give me a f, f!
Give me a f, f!
Give me a i, i!
Give me a n, n!
Give me a d, d!
Give me a o, o!
Give me a r, r!
What does it spell?
GRYFFINDOR
​
Here's another example of how your program should work:

Cheer: hello
Give me a h, h!
Give me a e, e!
Give me a l, l!
Give me a l, l!
Give me a o, o!
What does it spell?
HELLO

Answer 1

Here are two simple implementations (Python and Node.js). They prompt with "Cheer: ", skip spaces, print a "Give me a ..." line for each character, then print the uppercase spelled word.

Python (3):
```
s = input("Cheer: ").strip()
for ch in s:
if ch.isspace():
continue
c = ch.lower()
print(f"Give me a {c}, {c}!")
print("What does it spell?")
print(s.replace(" ", "").upper())
```

Node.js (run with node):
```
const readline = require('readline');

const rl = readline.createInterface({ input: process.stdin, output: process.stdout });
rl.question('Cheer: ', (s) => {
for (const ch of s) {
if (/\s/.test(ch)) continue;
const c = ch.toLowerCase();
console.log(`Give me a ${c}, ${c}!`);
}
console.log('What does it spell?');
console.log(s.replace(/\s+/g, '').toUpperCase());
rl.close();
});
```

Examples
- Input: "gryffindor" produces the exact output in your example.
- Input: "hello" produces the second example.

If you want different handling (keep original case in the "Give me..." lines, treat punctuation specially, or use "an" before vowels), tell me and I'll adjust.
