I Need help with this algorithm

Question

Hey, can anyone recommend a reliable algorithm that takes in high school subjects as input and suggests possible programs one might persue in university or explain how to develop such an algorithm ?

Answer 1

I guess you can start with this and develop as necessary, it's in JavaScript, so you can test it by pasting it in JS tab of a blank web code;

// A list of paired subject & possible matching
// or related course of studies
var matches = {
"math":["Option 1 for Math", "Option 2 for Math"],
"biology":["Option 1 for Bio", "Option 2 for Bio"],
"art":["Option 1 for Art", "Option 2 for Art"]
};

var subject = prompt("Enter your subject:");
var possible = matches[subject.toLowerCase()];
if(possible !== undefined) {
console.log(possible);
} else {
console.log("Sorry, no match was found for " + subject);
}
