The Soundex Index System was developed so that similar sounding names, or names with similar spelling could be encoded for easy retrieval. It has been used by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and some States use it to help encode your driver's license number. Your task is to read a sequence of names, one at a time and one per line, compute the corresponding soundex code, and write to the output the name and its soundex code (one line of output per name).
Names will contain from 1 to 20 upper case, alphabetic characters (ASCII values 65 thru 90, inclusive). Names shorter than 20 characters will NOT be padded with blanks. Thus a narne will consist of upper case letters only.
A Soundex Code always consists of a letter followed by three digits. Here are the rules for soundex encoding:
Code | Key Letters and Equivalents |
---|---|
1 | B, P, F, V |
2 | C, S, K, G, J, Q, X, Z |
3 | D, T |
4 | L |
5 | M, N |
6 | R |
The input contains a list of names, one per line. Each name will not exceed 20 characters, and you may assume that only upper case letters will be used. Your program should continue to read names until the end of the input is detected.
The output should consist of a column of names and a column of their corresponding soundex codes. Write the headings "NAME" and "SOUNDEX CODE" in the first line of the output in columns 10 and 35, respectively. After the heading line, the names and soundex codes should be written (one pair per line) with the name starting in column 10 and the soundex code beginning in column 35. The comment "END OF OUTPUT" should appear at the end of the output on the line immediately after the last name. This comment should be written starting in column 20.
Suppose that the input contains the data:
LEE KUHNE EBELL EBELSON SCHAEFER SCHAAK
the output should then contain the lines:
NAME SOUNDEX CODE LEE L000 KUHNE K500 EBELL E140 EBELSON E142 SCHAEFER S160 SCHAAK S200 END OF OUTPUT | | | | | |__ Column 35 | |__ Column 20 |__ Column 10
