# Task 1: Acronym
# ===============
#
# You are given an array of strings and a check string.
#
# Write a script to find out if the check string is the acronym of the words in
# the given array.
#
## Example 1
##
## Input: @str = ("Perl", "Python", "Pascal")
##        $chk = "ppp"
## Output: true
#
## Example 2
##
## Input: @str = ("Perl", "Raku")
##        $chk = "rp"
## Output: false
#
## Example 3
##
## Input: @str = ("Oracle", "Awk", "C")
##        $chk = "oac"
## Output: true

# This one is straight forward:
# - get the first character of each string in the array
# - lowercase it
# - join all of these together into a string
# - compare that string to $chk
