Learn to Program, 2nd Edition

A Few Things to Try

• “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.” Write a program that prints out the lyrics to that beloved classic, “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.”

• Deaf grandma. Whatever you say to Grandma (whatever you type in), she should respond with this:

  HUH?!  SPEAK UP, SONNY!

  unless you shout it (type in all capitals). If you shout, she can hear you (or at least she thinks so) and yells back:

  NO, NOT SINCE 1938!
