Question

(C++) There is a rumor circulating on the Internet that George Lucas (the creator of the Star Wars movies) uses a formula to create the names for the characters in his stories (Jar Jar Binks, ObiWan Kenobi, etc.) The formula allegedly-is the following:

Star Wars first name: • Take the first three letters of your last name. • Add to that the first two letters of your first name.

Star Wars last name: • Take the first two letters of your mother's maiden name. • Add to this the first three letters of the name of the town or city where you were born

Write a C++ program that lets the user enter their first and last name, first two letters of their mother’s maiden name, and the city/town of their birth. Output to the screen your Star Wars screen name (First and Last name). The program must include a function named GenerateStarWarsName() that generates a Star Wars name. The C++ String class must be used. Output should be user friendly.

Code -

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <string.h>

using namespace std;
void GenerateStarWarsName();
string firstName,lastName,maidenName,cityName;
int main()
{
//ask user to enter following details
cout<<"Enter of your first name: ";
cin>>firstName;
cout<<"Enter of your last name: ";
cin>>lastName;
cout<<"Enter of your mother's maiden name: ";
cin>>maidenName;
cout<<"Enter name of the town or city where you were born: ";
cin>>cityName;
//call function to generate star war name
GenerateStarWarsName();
return 0;
}
void GenerateStarWarsName() {
//this is take out the first two letters from first string
std::string firstNameTwoLetters = firstName.substr(0, 2);
//this is take out the last two letters from last string
std::string lastNameTwoLetters = lastName.substr(0, 3);
//use append method to concatenate string
lastNameTwoLetters.append(firstNameTwoLetters);
std::string maidenNameTwoLetters = maidenName.substr(0, 2);
std::string cityNameTwoLetters = cityName.substr(0, 3);
maidenNameTwoLetters.append(cityNameTwoLetters);
cout<<"\nStar war name : "<<lastNameTwoLetters<<" "<<maidenNameTwoLetters<<endl;

}
