Chapter 8, Problem 1AW
Assume choice references a string. The following if statement determines whether choice is equal to ‘Y’ or ‘y’:
if choice == ‘Y’ or choice == ‘y’:
Rewrite this statement so it only makes one comparison, and does not use the or operator.
(Hint: use either the upper or lower methods.)

Using an instance of a string, you may determine the location of the substring.
Lab Activity for the students:
Exercise 5: Write a program that asks the user to input a letter. The program finds and prints if the letter is
uppercase or lowercase. Then, the program asks the user to input a string and get a three-character substring
from the beginning of the string. (1 Mark )
Example : If the inputs are 'y' and "Community". Then, the program will print:
y is lowercase
The substring is: Com
One of the string objects may be used to determine where the substring is.
