Abbreviations, easy
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
This task is an easier (to code) variant of the Rosetta Code task: Abbreviations, simple.
For this task, the following command table will be used:
Add ALTer BAckup Bottom CAppend Change SCHANGE CInsert CLAst COMPress COpy COUnt COVerlay CURsor DELete CDelete Down DUPlicate Xedit EXPand EXTract Find NFind NFINDUp NFUp CFind FINdup FUp FOrward GET Help HEXType Input POWerinput Join SPlit SPLTJOIN LOAD Locate CLocate LOWercase UPPercase LPrefix MACRO MErge MODify MOve MSG Next Overlay PARSE PREServe PURge PUT PUTD Query QUIT READ RECover REFRESH RENum REPeat Replace CReplace RESet RESTore RGTLEFT RIght LEft SAVE SET SHift SI SORT SOS STAck STATus TOP TRAnsfer Type Up
Notes concerning the above command table:
- it can be thought of as one long literal string (with blanks at end-of-lines)
- it may have superfluous blanks
- it may be in any case (lower/upper/mixed)
- the order of the words in the command table must be preserved as shown
- the user input(s) may be in any case (upper/lower/mixed)
- commands will be restricted to the Latin alphabet (A ──► Z, a ──► z)
- A valid abbreviation is a word that has:
- at least the minimum length of the number of capital letters of the word in the command table
- compares equal (regardless of case) to the leading characters of the word in the command table
- a length not longer than the word in the command table
- ALT, aLt, ALTE, and ALTER are all abbreviations of ALTer
- AL, ALF, ALTERS, TER, and A aren't valid abbreviations of ALTer
- The number of capital letters in ALTer indicates that any abbreviation for ALTer must be at least three letters
- Any word longer than five characters can't be an abbreviation for ALTer
- o, ov, oVe, over, overL, overla are all acceptable abbreviations for Overlay
- if there isn't any lowercase letters in the word in the command table, then there isn't an abbreviation permitted
- Task
-
- The command table needn't be verified/validated.
- Write a function to validate if the user "words" (given as input) are valid (in the command table).
- If the word is valid, then return the full uppercase version of that "word".
- If the word isn't valid, then return the lowercase string: *error* (7 characters).
- A blank input (or a null input) should return a null string.
- Show all output here.
- An example test case to be used for this task
For a user string of:
riG rePEAT copies put mo rest types fup. 6 poweRin
the computer program should return the string:
RIGHT REPEAT *error* PUT MOVE RESTORE *error* *error* *error* POWERINPUT
