Question

Modify the username.py program (see the lecture slide) to generate usernames using the user’s first initial, followed by up to 3 first letters of the user’s last name, and a number of total characters in the last name. User input can be up- or low-case. But the generated usernames contains only low-case characters and a number.

For example, if the person’s name is “Albert Einstein” à the username shall be ”aein8”

Tip: use len() function and string’s lower() method

To create the program(10 points): :

1. Create a module named h02_username2.py from the directory hw

2. Record your name, class number, and date of creation using python comment statement.

3. Write the code to implement the required tasks.

When you have completed the program, run the program and capture and paste the output below:

    #taking first character of first name, concatenating with first 3 characters of

    #last name and total length of last name

    uname=first[:1]+last[:3]+str(len(last))

    # displaying the generated username

    print("Your username is:", uname)

main()
