Please post your code in and the problem in your message. Here it

This is a ridiculous abbreviation scheme, but for purposes of
your project that doesn't matter.

Here's your solution so far:

No, your program outputs nothing. That's bound to fail. ;)

How is your program supposed to work, in your own words?
