Question

Let's write a C++ program function named toFrenchGender() that takes the French name of a country and returns the name with the appropriate article added: le for masculine or la for feminine, such as le Canada or la Belgique. However, if the country name starts with a vowel, use l’; for example, l’Afghanistan. And, for another wrinkle, use les for plural country names. A name is plural if it ends in es, is, as, or os, or, if the first word in the name is iles, or "islands". Finally, the following countries do not have a preceding definite article (le or la): Israel, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Monaco, Cuba and Cyprus.
