Question

PYTHON

Write a program for an event organizer. The code can be as short as 7 lines; 9 lines are good enough!

a) Request the organizer to enter a participant’s full name in a single input. The input can take two different formats: i. l_name, f_name [1.5 pts] ii. f_name l_name [1.5 pts] b) Print a customized greeting message using the first name, regardless of the formats: “Dear f_name, welcome to the party!” with only the 1 st letter of f_name in upper case.

Hint 1: Try to work on one form, at a time. After figuring out how to do both, add an if statement.

Hint 2: Just need to use in, len(), .find() and, of course, input().

Answer 1

code:

# Taking full name as one string
s = input("Enter string: ")

# checking whether "," is in string
if "," in s:
    ind = s.find(",") # finding index of "," in string
    f_name = s[(ind+1):len(s)] # Then first name is from comma index to last index
else:
    ind = s.find(" ")
    f_name = s[0:ind]
  
# Printing the output string
print("Dear "+f_name+", welcome to the party!")

# They are only 8 lines in the program and i have used only .find(), in

OUTPUT
