Abhijeet Kaur d90906c521 contrib bots: Edit code for uniformity.
Add one function (get_bot_botname_response()) that generates response
from the given input and replies back to the handle_message with the final
content of response to be sent. Also add code to bots(except followup) to
reply to private messages along with stream messages.

DefineBot

  • This is a bot that defines a word that the user inputs. Whenever the user inputs a message starting with '@define', the bot defines the word that follows.

  • The definitions are brought to the website using an API. The bot posts the definition of the word to the stream from which the user inputs the message. If the user inputs a word that does not exist or a word that is incorrect or is not in the dictionary, the definition is not displayed.

  • For example, if the user says "@define crash", all the meanings of crash appear, each in a separate line.

Correct Word

  • If the user enters a wrong word, like "@define cresh" or "@define crish", then an error message saying no definition is available is displayed.
