Programming Assignment Unit 5

The document outlines a programming assignment that involves three tasks: displaying a specified number of characters from the left of a user's name, counting the vowels in the name, and reversing the name. It provides detailed explanations of how to accept user input, validate it, and implement the required functionalities using Python. Additionally, it includes example outputs to illustrate the expected results for each task.

Programming Assignment Unit 5

Full name: Hassan Agha Hussainy

1. Display n Characters from the Left

Explanation
1. Accepting User's Name:
- The input() function is used to get the user's name. This function returns a string.
- The input is stored in the variable name.

2. Loop for Valid Input:


- A while True loop is used to continuously prompt the user for input until a valid number
is entered.
- Inside the loop:
o A try block attempts to convert the user's input into an integer using int(input(...)).
o If successful, the integer is stored in n.
o If not successful (e.g., if the user enters a string), a ValueError exception is raised,
and the code in the except block is executed.

3. Checking Input Validity:


o After converting the input to an integer, the code checks if n is less than or equal
to the length of the name (len(name)).
o If n is valid, the loop breaks, and the program continues.
o If n is greater than the length of the name, the user is prompted to enter a smaller
number.
4. Printing the First n Characters:
- Once a valid n is entered, the program prints the first n characters of the name. However,
there was a mistake in the code: it prints name[:n]. So, I changed to prints name[:n+1]
because when I enter 4, it displayed 3 letters.

Counting Vowel in the Name

Explanation
1. Accepting User's Name:
o The input() function is used to get the user's name. This function returns a string.
o The input is stored in the variable name.

2. Defining Vowels:
o A string vowel is defined containing all lowercase and uppercase vowels.

3. Counting Vowels:
o The code uses a generator expression within the sum() function to count the
number of vowels in the name.

Here's how it works:


- for char in name: This part iterates over each character in the name.
- if char in vowel: This checks if the current character is in the vowel string.
- sum(1 for ...): If the character is a vowel, it counts as 1; otherwise, it counts as 0. The
sum() function adds up all these counts to give the total number of vowels.

Printing the Count:


Finally, the code prints the total count of vowels found in the name.
Reversing the name:

Detailed Explanation
1. Accepting User's Name:
o The input() function is used to get the user's name. This function returns a string.
o The input is stored in the variable name.

2. Reversing the Name:


o The code uses Python's slicing feature to reverse the string.
o The syntax name[::-1] means:
 name[start:stop:step]: This is the general form of slicing in Python.
 start: Omitted, which means it starts from the beginning.
 stop: Omitted, which means it goes to the end.
 step: -1, which means it moves backwards through the string.
 So, name[::-1] effectively reverses the string.

3. Printing the Reversed Name:


o Finally, the code prints the original name and its reversed form.
Example Output
If you enter "Mohammad Ali", the output should be:
Enter your name: Mohammad Ali
Reversed form of your name Mohammad Ali is: ilA dammahoM
Explanation of the Output
In the name "Mohammad Ali", when reversed, it becomes "ilA dammahoM". This is because the
characters are rearranged in reverse order:
