Using Python Focus on string operations and methods You work for a small company that keeps the following information about its clients: • first name • last name • a 5-digit user code assigned by your company. The information is stored in a file clients.txt with the information for each client on one line (last name first), with commas between the parts. For example Jones, Sally,00345 Lin ,Nenya,00548 Fule,A,00000 Smythe , Mary Ann , 00012 Your job is to create a program assign usernames for a login system. First: write a function named get_parts(string) that will that will receive as its arguments a string with the client data for one client, for example “Lin ,Nenya,00548”, and return the separate first name, last name, and client code. You should remove any extra whitespace from the beginning and newlines from the end of the parts. You’ll need to use some of the string methods that we covered in this lesson You can test your function by with a main() that is just the function call with the argument typed in. Second: write a function make_user(param) that will receive as its arguments three strings - the first name, last name, and client number and return the username. The user name should be created as • The first two characters of the first name, in lower case • The first two characters of the last name, in lower case • The last three characters of the user number For the example, the username for user Nenya Lin will be neli548 You’ll need to use slices, lower() and concatenation. You can test your function by with a main() that is just the function call with the arguments typed in.
Using Python Focus on string operations and methods
You work for a small company that keeps the following information about its clients:
• first name
• last name
• a 5-digit user code assigned by your company.
The information is stored in a file clients.txt with the information for each client on one line
(last name first), with commas between the parts. For example
Jones, Sally,00345
Lin ,Nenya,00548
Fule,A,00000
Smythe , Mary Ann , 00012
Your job is to create a program assign usernames for a login system.
First: write a function named get_parts(string) that will that will receive as its arguments a
string with the client data for one client, for example “Lin ,Nenya,00548”, and return the
separate first name, last name, and client code. You should remove any extra whitespace from the
beginning and newlines from the end of the parts.
You’ll need to use some of the string methods that we covered in this lesson
You can test your function by with a main() that is just the function call with the argument typed in.
Second: write a function make_user(param) that will receive as its arguments three strings - the
first name, last name, and client number and return the username.
The user name should be created as
• The first two characters of the first name, in lower case
• The first two characters of the last name, in lower case
• The last three characters of the user number
For the example, the username for user Nenya Lin will be neli548
You’ll need to use slices, lower() and concatenation.
You can test your function by with a main() that is just the function call with the arguments typed in.
