Program Plan Intro
Accessing characters in string:
- • In Python, there are two techniques for accessing characters present in string.
- ○ Using “for” loop.
- ■ Each time the loop operates, variable will refer a copy of character in the string that begins with the first character.
- ○ Using indexing.
- ■ The characters can be accessed using index.
- ■ Each character of a string has an index that specifies the string’s position.
- ■ Indexing starts at 0 and ends with a count of one less than the total number of characters in a string.
- ○ Using “for” loop.

What happens if you try to retrieve a character in a string with an incorrect index?
def swap_text(text):
Backstory:
Luffy wants to organize a surprise party for his friend Zoro and he wants to send a message to his friends, but he wants to encrypt the message so that Zoro cannot easily read it. The message is encrypted by exchanging pairs of characters.
Description: This function gets a text (string) and creates a new text by swapping each pair of characters, and returns a string with the modified text. For example, suppose the text has 6 characters, then it swaps the first with the second, the third with the fourth and the fifth with the sixth character.
Parameters: text is a string (its length could be 0)Return value: A string that is generated by swapping pairs of characters. Note that if the
Examples:
swap_text ("hello") swap_text ("Party for Zoro!") swap_text ("") def which_day(numbers):
→ 'ehllo'→ 'aPtr yof roZor!' → ''
length of the text is odd, the last character remains in the same position.

All information needed for this will be passed to the program on the command line. There will be no user input during the execution of the program. You will need a few pieces of information. The price of the home and the amount of the down payment. You will also need to know the interest rate and the term of the mortgage. To figure your mortgage payment, start by converting your annual interest rate to a monthly interest rate by dividing by 12. Next, add 1 to the monthly rate. Third, multiply the number of years in the term of the mortgage by 12 to calculate the number of monthly payments you’ll make. Fourth, raise the result of 1 plus the monthly rate to the negative power of the number of monthly payments you’ll make. Fifth, subtract that result from 1. Sixth, divide the monthly rate by the result. Last, multiply the result by the amount you want to borrow.…arrow_forward

A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward as forward, such as “SIR”,“raceBIKE”, “Never odd or even”, “20/1/20”. The program should prompt the user to typein a phrase that is at least three characters long, and then tell the user whether the phrasewas a palindrome. Note, the decision should be based solely on letters and numericaldigits, and so it should not consider other characters, such as spaces or exclamationmarks, even though these might be entered by the user. when checking palindromes.A.

The function prints “Valid String” only when the string contains at least one capital letter, one vowel, one integer and one ‘@’ character. An example of a valid string is @Developer123. If the user enters any operators like +,*,= then your program must throw a character exception. If the string contains any brackets like {[(}]), then your program must throw an integer exception.
