Control Structures Exercise

Devise a strategy for solving each of the following problems. Write out your step-by-step strategy in pseudocode (don't worry about expressing your steps in correct LiveCode commands.)

1.The president of WEGOTCHA Corp., George "Bubba" Johnson, has decided that all employees should have a nickname in the workplace (to encourage comradery, says George.) He gives you a list of employee names and a list of an equal number of nicknames. You are to assign each person a nickname chosen at random from the list. No nickname should be used more than once. Names should be in the format Firstname "Nickname" Lastname.

Employee Names	Nicknames
Mary McKenna Elizabeth Hendricks Andrew Carlson Eugene Krzymarik Mike Peters Rhonda Rhodes Terrance Leonard	"Pretty Boy" "Diva" "Stinky" "Downtown" "Hound Dog" "Killer" "Bugsy"

2. A group of friends are asked to each write a one-sentence statement about two acquaintances. Each sentence is in the form "John is <adjective>." You've collected the sentences. Now write the steps that your computer must go through to combine all of the statements about the two persons into two statements (one for each of the two acquaintences) of this form: "John is fast, short, stupid and industrious."

3.Given a list of nouns and a list of irregular plural forms in an imaginary language, write the steps for forming the regular plural form of nouns. For the purposes of this exercise, you need not consider any other cases but these. Regular forms are given for your reference only.
