I'm going to assume this is Java, because you said "method" meaning it will be some sort of object oriented language, and Java's really common. Here would be the full program, but you can just take the method out isolated if you need it.

package lastname;

public class LastName {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       // Example usage:

       String name = LastName.lastName("Garrett Acord");

       System.out.println(name);

       // Output: Acord G.

   }

   public static String lastName(String fullName)

   {

       String[] splitName = fullName.split(" ");

       return String.format("%s %s.", splitName[1], splitName[0].substring(0,1) );

       

   }

   

}

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

A programming language is used by engineers, technologists, scientists or someone that learnt about programming languages and they use these programming languages to give instructions to a system. There are many types for instance, c++, python, Java and many more.

So, the solution to the question above is given below;

#define the lists

boyNames=[]

girlNames=[]

#open the text file BoyNames.txt

with open('BoyNames.txt','r') as rd_b_fl:

boyNames=rd_b_fl.readlines()

boyNames=[name.strip().lower() for name in boyNames]

#open the text file GirlNames.txt

with open('GirlNames.txt','r') as rd_b_fl:

girlNames=rd_b_fl.readlines()

girlNames=[name.strip().lower() for name in girlNames]

#print the message to prompt for name

print('Enter a name to see if it is a popular girls or boys name.')

while True:

#prompt and read the name

name=input('\nEnter a name to check, or \"stop\" to stop: ').lower()

# if the input is stop, then exit from the program

if name=='stop':

break

# If the girl name exits in the file,then return 1

g_count=girlNames.count(name)

# if return value greater than 0, then print message

if g_count>0:

print(name.title()+" is a popular girls name and is ranked "

+str(girlNames.index(name)+1))

# if return value greater than 0, then print message

#"Not popular name"

else:

print(name.title()+" is not a popular girls name")

## If the boy name exits in the file,then return 1

b_count=boyNames.count(name)

if b_count>0:

print(name.title()+" is a popular boys name and is ranked "

+str(boyNames.index(name)+1))

# if return value greater than 0, then print message

#"Not popular name"

else:

print(name.title()+" is not a popular boys name")

In Python, if var1 = "Happy" and var2= "Birthday" and var3 = (var 1+var2) *2, then var3 stores the string
nordsb [41]

Answer:

The answer is "Option A".

Explanation:

The program to the given question can be given as:

program:

var1 = "Happy" #defining variable var1

var2= "Birthday" #defining variable var2

var3 = (var1+var2) *2 #defining variable var3 and calculate value

print (var3) #print value.

Output:

HappyBirthdayHappyBirthday

In the above python program, three variable is defined, that is var1, var2, and var3, in which variable var1 and var2 we assign a value, that is "Happy" and "Birthday".

In variable var3 we add the value of var1 and var2 variable and multiply by 2. It will print the variable value two times. and other options are not correct that can be defined as:

  • In option B and C, Both variable var1 and var2 print there values two times but in option B var1 value print two time and var2 value print one time only and option C var1 variable value is print only one time and var2 variable value is print two times that's why it is not correct.
  • In option C, Both variable var1 and var2 print there values two times that's why it is not correct.
