Question

2.12 LAB: Name format Many documents use a specific format for a person's name. Write a program whose input is: firstName middleName lastName and whose output is: lastName, firstInitial.middleInitial.

Answer 1

Answer:

In Python:

firstName = input("First name: ")

middleName  = input("Middle name: ")

lastName = input("Last name: ")

firstInitial = firstName[0]

middleInitial = middleName[0]

print(lastName+", "+firstInitial+"."+middleInitial)

Explanation:

This line prompts user for firstName

firstName = input("First name: ")

This line prompts user for middleName

middleName  = input("Middle name: ")

This line prompts user for lastName

lastName = input("Last name: ")

This line gets the firstInitial

firstInitial = firstName[0]

This line gets the middleInitial

middleInitial = middleName[0]

This line prints the lastName, followed by the first and middle initials

print(lastName+", "+firstInitial+"."+middleInitial)
