# You're hosting a conference and need to print badges for the speakers. Each badge should say: "Hello, my name is _____."

# 1. Write a method that will create and return this message, given a person's name.
def print_name(name)
  puts "Hello my name is #{name}."
end



# 2. Now the list of speakers is finalized, and you can send the list of badges to the printer. Remember that you'll need to give this list to the printer, so it should be accessible outside of the method.

# Let's go back to the exercise where we determined what is and isn't a vowel. With ruby, there's always more than one way to do something and get the same result.

# Assuming vowels a,e,i,o,u:

# # Write a method that returns whether a given letter is a vowel, using if and elsif
def is_a_vowel(n)
  if n =="a"
  elsif n=="e"
    return true
  elsif n=="i"

# NOTES: Not finished, but started programming the different components that I thought would make up the final script. 

# Tweet Shortener

# A client has hired you to automatically post some of their brand messages to twitter, but the problem is that some of them are too long. Your job is to shorten them by replacing longer words with shorter representations (i.e. "two" becomes "2").

# Write a method that will take a tweet, search it for words that you can substitute, and return a substituted string tweet. For instance, the tweet "Hello to you, I'm at home" would become "Hi 2 u, I'm @ home". The client has provided the following acceptable substitutes.

case x
  when "to", "two", "too"
