Python String Exercises

Objective

• You will learn to create and access characters and slices of a string
• You will learn to use a loop to traverse the characters of a string

Directions

Create a python file named "ch7_YOURLASTNAME.py". In this file, complete the following exercises:

1. Create a string "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." in a variable s
   • Print out the first letter in s using the brackets (e.g. s[NUM])
   • Print out the letter "q" using s and the index 4
   • Print out the letter "x" using s and the corresponding index
   • Using string slicing, print out the word "brown"
   • Using string slicing, print out the word "lazy"
   • Using string slicing, print out starting at the word "jumped" through the end of the string
2. Use the string variable s from Question 1. Create a loop that prints out every letter in the variable s
3. Use the string variable s from Question 1. Create a loop that prints out every letter in s backwards starting from the end.
4. Use the string variable s from Question 1. Create a loop that prints out every other letter in s starting from the beginning
