  3. Rewrite “Receive knock-knock jokes” to remember the jokes told to the robot by adding them to the joke database used by the “tell knock knock jokes” program. Is this machine learning?
  4. Modify the “tell jokes” program to play sounds from a wave file, such as a music clip, as well as doing TTS.
  5. The sentence structures used in this chapter are all based on English grammar. Other languages, such as French and Japanese, have different structures. How does that change the parsing of sentences? Would the program we wrote be able to understand Yoda?
