Question
See above figure which shows numbers-letters association used in phone keys. Your task is to
1- Keep those association in an array of struct, such as
A, 2
B, 2
C, 2
D, 3
...
...
Z, 9
You will build your array of struct with hard-coded values.
2- Ask user repeatedly a four-letter combination, and find corresponding numbers for the combination.
Once user enters CSCI
Your program should output 2724. Similarly,
ABCD should be map to 2232
TOMY should be map to 8669
GONE should be map to 4663
Exit the program if user enters EXIT.
Now write a C++ program following above information.
