Fix & Write Code

• Fix the Code #1 🪁

  • A quote from Boris Beizer is provided. Format it to display nicely on the screen when it prints.
    • You should not have to scroll sideways to see the output!
    • Be sure to use a multi-line quote, \n and \t escape characters, and any other formatting you wish.
    • Note that the style conventions state that there should only be 79 characters in a line. Format your paragraphs a
  • Be sure to run your program to be sure it works correctly. (There is no test code for this.)

• Write Code #1 🚁

  • Write a (very) short play (4-6 lines). As with any script, each character's dialogue should be displayed on their own line.
  • Here's the catch: you can only use 1 print statement!! 😲
  • Use \n and \t at least once in your program. You may also use multi-line strings or any other formatting you wish.

• Fix the Code #2 🪁

  • This program should:
    • prompt the user for two different strings
    • concatenate them
    • print the result and the length of the new string

  Example:

  Enter a word: (buffalo)
  Enter another word: (tiger)
  The string buffalotiger has 12 letters.
  

  • Note: there is a GitHub test for this. Be sure the output format matches the example.

• Write Code #2 🚁

  • Prompt the user for three strings
  • Concatenate them together with spaces between them
  • Print the result

  Example:

  Enter a word: (apple)
  Enter a second word: (purple)
  Enter a third word: (kite)
  output: apple purple kite
  

  • Note: there is a GitHub test for this. Be sure the output format matches the example.

• Fix the Code #3 🚁

  • This program should:
    • Assign Athenian Wilderness Experience to junior_year.
    • Use string slicing to get Wilderness and print it.
    • Calculate the length of Wilderness
    • Print the length

  Example:

  first output: Wilderness
  second output: Length: 10
  

  • Note: there is a GitHub test for this. Be sure the output format matches the example.

• Write Code #3 🪁

  • Assign supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to a variable.
  • Use string slicing to print the string agilisitic
  • Note: there is a GitHub test for this. Be sure the output format matches the example.
