I am doing my program here which is a simple input characters classify them and display them, it has other functions as well. My problem is that i had to modify my program starting to use pointers. In the menu number 7 it asks for a charcter you want to replace and then it replaces it in the string if it is avaialable, now here is my problem after replacing characters in the string with new ones i have to classify the string again to make sure it is updated. In my case 7 i use the functions Modify() and count() to replace characters, i have a classify () function but it does not go well, basically you can't use it again or call it. Here is the reason why in my clasiffy function i ask the user to input characters the string can not be bigger than 60, i have to monitor every character along the way, if a blank character or return is hit its gotta end the process. I want to make my classify function to be general with out the process of asking for characters and monitor, i want to modify it so you can call it to just update the summary. How do i go about this and still monitor the characters being inputed, do i make another funcition or do i just replicate the classify code in my modify code and update it that way, that seems so repititive and not good programming. Need help tackling this problem, my code is blow, all of it.
