Ready to start?

Requirements

  • Fork this repo
  • Then clone this repo

Submission

  • Upon completion, run the following commands:
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "done"
$ git push origin master
  • Create Pull Request so your TAs can check up your work.

Exercise

Iteration 1: Names and Input

  1. Create a variable hacker1 with the driver's name

  2. Print "The driver's name is XXXX"

  3. Create a variable hacker2 and ask the user for the navigator's name

  4. Print "The navigator's name is YYYY"

Iteration 2: Conditionals

  1. Depending on which name is longer, print:
    • The Driver has the longest name, it has XX characters or
    • Yo, navigator got the longest name, it has XX characters or
    • wow, you both got equally long names, XX characters!!

Iteration 3: Loops

  1. Print all the characters of the driver's name, separated by a space and in capitals ie. "J O H N"

  2. Print all the characters of the navigator's name, in reverse order. ie. "nhoJ"

  3. Depending on the lexicographic order of the strings, print:

  • The driver's name goes first
  • Yo, the navigator goes first definitely
  • What?! You both got the same name?

Bonus Time!

  1. Ask the user for a new string and check if it's a Palindrome. Examples of palindromes:

    • "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!"
    • "Amor, Roma"
    • "race car"
    • "stack cats"
    • "step on no pets"
    • "taco cat"
    • "put it up"
    • "Was it a car or a cat I saw?" and "No 'x' in Nixon".
  2. Go to lorem ipsum generator and:

  • Generate 3 parragraphs. Store the text in a String
  • Make your program count the number of words in the string
  • Make your program count the number of times the latin word etappears
