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:

    • "stack cats"
    • "step on no pets"
