Answer to Exercise 59

| ANSWER TO EXERCISE 59
| Create a new property `adjective`, and move names which are adjectives to it: for instance,
        name "tomato" "vegetable", adjective 'fried' 'green' 'cooked',
(Recall that dictionary words can only be written in `"` quotes for the `name` property.) Then (using the same `IsAWordIn` routine),
    [ ParseNoun obj n m;
      while (IsAWordIn(NextWord(),obj,adjective) == 1) n++; wn--;
      while (IsAWordIn(NextWord(),obj,noun) == 1) m++;
      if (m==0) return 0; return n+m;
    ];
