Activity 4: Wildcards

Using wildcards

Let’s use the wildcard to allow our bot to answer more questions, without having to write a new category for each possible question. Let’s expand on our current categories so that the chatbot can respond to any question that ends with “food”, “color” or “name”.

1. If the user enters a question that ENDS WITH “food” (e.g. “What is your favorite food?”, “Do you like food?”, “Do chatbots eat food?”), the bot should respond with “My favorite food is pizza”.

2. If the user enters a question that ENDS WITH “color” (e.g. “What is your favorite color?”, “What’s your favorite color?”), the bot should respond with “My favorite color is blue”.

3. If the user enters a question that ENDS WITH “name” (e.g. “What is your name?”, “What’s your name?”, “Do you have a name?”), the bot should respond with “My name is Chatbot”.
