Description

Write a make file that builds a latex project.

Imagine that the top-level latex file main.tex uses two more auxiliary files body.tex and results.tex. The results.tex file in turn includes a tables.tex file and some gnuplot figures. The gnuplot figures are named graph1.pdf and graph2.pdf. They are built using graph1.gnu and graph2.gnu scripts which use graph1.csv and graph2.csv respectively. The main.tex uses a bibliography file citations.bib.

The makefile should do a minimal re-compilation. However, it should not miss re-building the final latex output main.pdf if any file is changed.

It must have the top-level target main.pdf. It should also include a phony target clean.

Write a Python script that does the following.

Given a string input, it doubles every consonant and puts an ‘o’ between them.
The vowels are simply left as is.

Thus, if the input is:
I am a very good student.
the output is:
I amom a voveroryoy gogoodod sostotudodenontot.

(Bonus marks: 5 for pronouncing the strings thus produced correctly. 🙂 )

Augment the above program to read 3 inputs (the 4th one is the string on which it operates): the first two integers indicate the number of times a consonant and a vowel is repeated (> 0) while the third is a vowel (check for that) that is placed between every repetition of a consonant.

Thus, the above program is a special case with the 3 inputs being 2, 1 and ‘o’.
