Question

Using Python 3:

1. Given variables first and last, each of which is associated with a str, representing a first and a last name, respectively. Write an expression whose value is a str that is a full name of the form "Last, First". So, if first were associated with "alan" and last with "turing", then your expression would be "Turing,Alan". (Note the capitalization! Note: no spaces!) And if first and last were "Florean" and "fortescue" respectively, then your expression's value would be "Fortescue,Florea"

2. Assume the variable date has been set to a string value of the form mm/dd/yyyy, for example 09/08/2010. (Actual numbers would appear in the string.) Write a statement to assign to a variable named dayStr the characters in date that contain the day. Then set a variable day to the integer value corresponding to the two digits in dayStr.

Explanation / Answer

#Python 3
#Save as firstLast.py
#This python program that splits the name last and first
#separated with sapce.
#extracts the first and last and capitalize the string starting
#letters and print to console.
def main():

    #name string
    str='turing, alan'
    #call split method for space
    #split returns list of strings
    names=str.split(" ")

    #get last name
    last=names[0]
    #get first name
    first=names[1]
    #capitalize and combine the two string
    result=last.capitalize()+''+first.capitalize()
    #print to console
    print(result)

#calling main method
main()

Press F5 to run the progra from console

Sample output:
Turing,Alan

#Python 3
#Python program that set day value to dayStr
#print to console
def main():

    #set '09/08/2010' to date
    date='09/08/2010'

    #call split with argumnet '/' method on date
    array=date.split('/')

    #set day value to dayStr
    dayStr=array[0]
    #print dayStr
    print("day = ",dayStr)

#calling main method
main()
