Comma quibbling is a task originally set by Eric Lippert in his blog.



Task

Write a function to generate a string output which is the concatenation of input words from a list/sequence where:

 An input of no words produces the output string of just the two brace characters "{}".
 An input of just one word, e.g. ["ABC"], produces the output string of the word inside the two braces, e.g. "{ABC}".
 An input of two words, e.g. ["ABC", "DEF"], produces the output string of the two words inside the two braces with the words separated by the string " and ", e.g. "{ABC and DEF}".
 An input of three or more words, e.g. ["ABC", "DEF", "G", "H"], produces the output string of all but the last word separated by ", " with the last word separated by " and " and all within braces; e.g. "{ABC, DEF, G and H}".


Test your function with the following series of inputs showing your output here on this page:

 [] # (No input words).
 ["ABC"]
 ["ABC", "DEF"]
 ["ABC", "DEF", "G", "H"]


Note: Assume words are non-empty strings of uppercase characters for this task.




function quibble(sequence words)
    if length(words)>=2 then
        words[-2..-1] = {words[-2]&" and "&words[-1]}
    end if
    return "{"&join(words,", ")&"}"
end function
 
constant tests = {{},
                  {"ABC"},
                  {"ABC","DEF"},
                  {"ABC","DEF","G","H"}}
 
for i=1 to length(tests) do
    ?quibble(tests[i])
end for
