Practical session 2
Task 1: string concatenation

• Create a variable and assign it the first name using the input function
• Create another variable and assign last name using the input function
• Concatenate the 2 variables and store the result in a new variable called fullname

• Use the variable fullname to display the full name on the screen and produce a reasonable
output (leave spaces between the first name and the last name)

Task 2: string replication

• Create a variable and give it a value I love python


• Print the value 5 times in the variable by using the string replication operator

Task 3: type casting

• Using your knowledge on type casting


• Write a program that asks a user to give their age and store this value in
a variable called age
• Add 2 to the given age and store the result in another variable called
age2

• Print the result on the screen using the variable age2 by saying your age is
…

Task 4:
Gracious has a value of 3 and he wants to share this value to Martha who apparently understands
numbers with decimal points only. As a solution to this, use your knowledge of type casting to
create a variable named x that will hold the floating point number from the integer 3 and print this
value on the screen.
Task 5:

 Write the following expression on your respective IDLE platforms:


5 ** 6 / 10 * 7

 Take note of the result after running the program


 Use parenthesis to change the order of evaluation to start with 10 * 7
 Compare this value to the previous one
