, Oh!-->Ohway!, "hello"-->"ellohay", "hello!"-->"ellohay!". So basically i have to modify my program to handle punctuation. I have worked a lot on this one, could anyone please tell me how to modify it so it can handle punctuation?
I don't have much time until i need this done , so the sooner the better.Thank you all.
