Mixed Messages Project

Project description

Mixed-up philosophy quote generator program, part of the Full-Stack Engineer Career Path at CodeCademy.

Every time a user runs a program, they get a new, randomized, mixed-up philosophy quote. The message that the program outputs is made up of four different pieces of data: author, philosophy, quote and a year between the author's years of birth and passing.

The authors, philosophies and quotes are from Karan Dahiya's philosophy-quotes-API (see Acknowledgements.) The birth and passing years were retrieved from Wikipedia.
