Random sentence generator

[Guest]

Hi guys

My Friend and I has to do a project for school, where we have to:

Make a “program” that can generate a random sentence based on:

S ::= N VP

NP ::= N | N who VP | S

VP ::= VT NP | VI

N ::= the bear | the house | Bill | Lisa | Medina | somebody

VT ::= sees | lifted | chased | heard of

VI ::= was hugged | was eaten | was remembered | was lit on fire

(S = sentence, NP = noun phrase, N = noun, VP = verb phrase, VT = transitive verb, VI =

intransitive verb.)

Can anyone help us? We think that we have to use class, but we aren’t sure.

Object:

                                                                                       var Noun = new Array();

                                                                                       var Noun:Array = ["Hat", "Car", "Shoe", "Horse"];

                                                                                       var randomNoun = Noun[Math.floor(Math.random()*Noun.length)];

                                                                                       var TransitiveVerb = new Array();

                                                                                       var TransitiveVerb:Array = ["lifted", "punished", "give", "traded", "ate"];

                                                                                       var randomTransitiveVerb = TransitiveVerb[Math.floor(Math.random()*TransitiveVerb.length)];

                                                                                       var IntransitivVerb = new Array();

                                                                                       var IntransitivVerb:Array = ["was very drunk", "was flying", "was gone", "was dead"];

                                                                                       var randomIntransitivVerb = IntransitivVerb[Math.floor(Math.random()*IntransitivVerb.length)];

                                                                                       var NounPhrase = new Array();

                                                                                       var NounPhrase:Array = [(randomNoun) | (randomNoun) + " who " + (randomVerbPhrase) | (randomSentence)];

                                                                                       var randomNounPhrase = NounPhrase[Math.floor(Math.random()*NounPhrase.length)];

                                                                                       var VerbPhrase = new Array();

                                                                                       var VerbPhrase:Array = [(randomTransitiveVerb) + (randomNounPhrase) | (randomIntransitivVerb)];

                                                                                       var randomVerbPhrase = VerbPhrase[Math.floor(Math.random()*VerbPhrase.length)];

                                                                                       var Sentence = new Array();

                                                                                       var Sentence:Array = [(randomNoun) + (randomNounPhrase)];

                                                                                       var randomSentence = Sentence[Math.floor(Math.random()*Sentence.length)];

                                                                                       trace(randomSentence + " " + randomNounPhrase + " " + randomVerbPhrase + " " + randomNoun + " " + randomTransitiveVerb + " " + randomIntransitivVerb);

Class:

private var Sentence:Array;

                                                                                       private var NounPhrase:Array;

                                                                                       private var Noun:Array;

                                                                                       private var VerbPhrase:Array;

                                                                                       private var TransitiveVerb:Array;

                                                                                       private var IntransitivVerb:Array;

                                                                                       public function Eksamen1class(Sentence:Array; NounPhrase:Array; Noun:Array; VerbPhrase:Array; TransitiveVerb:Array; IntransitivVerb:Array)

                                                                                       {

                                                                                                                    this.Sentence = Sentence

                                                                                                                    this.NounPhrase = NounPhrase

                                                                                                                    this.Noun = Noun

                                                                                                                    this.VerbPhrase = VerbPhrase

                                                                                                                    this.TransitiveVerb = TransitiveVerb

                                                                                                                    this.IntransitivVerb = IntransitivVerb

                                                                                       }
