Question

(In C)

(1) Prompt the user for a string that contains two strings separated by a comma. 

• Examples of strings that can be accepted:

• Jill, Allen

• Jill , Allen

• Jill,Allen

Ex:

Enter input string:
Jill, Allen

(2) Report an error if the input string does not contain a comma. Continue to prompt until a valid string is entered. Note: If the input contains a comma, then assume that the input also contains two strings. 

Ex:

Enter input string:
Jill Allen
Error: No comma in string.

Enter input string:
Jill, Allen

(3) Extract the two words from the input string and remove any spaces. Store the strings in two separate variables and output the strings. 

Ex:

Enter input string:
Jill, Allen
First word: Jill
Second word: Allen

(4) Using a loop, extend the program to handle multiple lines of input. Continue until the user enters q to quit. 

Ex:

Enter input string:
Jill, Allen
First word: Jill
Second word: Allen

Enter input string:
Golden , Monkey
First word: Golden
Second word: Monkey

Enter input string:
Washington,DC
First word: Washington
Second word: DC

Enter input string:
q
