    print(1 / int(num))
    (b) a = 1
    if (a = 1):
    print("a is equal to 1")
    (c) # Profit = 0.25 * total_sales
    total_sales = int(input("Enter total sales: "))
    profit = 0.25 * total_sales
    print(profit)
    (d) None of the given option

    2. What does this code output?  pri

    string = "iamahero"
    print(string[3:-1])

    b=5 buzz
    if b==4 and a==2:
    print("fizz")
    elif b>5:
    print("fizzbuzz")
    else:
    print("buzz")

    Ques 3. Coding
    (a) [10 marks] Write a python code that receives a string from the user and then
    outputs a new string from the original string where all occurrences of its first
    character have been changed to '*' except for the first and third characters.
    # get input
    string = input("Enter a string: ")
    # Receive a string
    first_char = string[0] # Store the first character in a
    variable
    new_string = ""

    for i in range(len(string)): # Loop over characters in


    the given string, for string = hhi,
    #i range will be 0, 1,2
    if(string[i] == first_char and i not in [0,2]): #
    Check if current character is equal
    #to the first character and is not first and
    third character
    new_string = new_string + '*'
    else: # Keep other characters
    new_string = new_string + string[i]

    print("New string: " + new_string)


    (b) [10 marks] Write a python code using a function asking the user to enter an integer
    number n. Construct, using one single loop, the string “1234…n” and the string
    “11223344..nn”. After the loop, print the two strings. Below is the output sample.

    def strConstruct():
    new_string1 =""
    new_string2 =""

    #prompt user to enter integer number n


    n=int(input("Enter an integer number: "))
    # for loop
    for num in range (1, n+1): # for n =3, num = 1,2,3
    # construct new strings
    new_string1 = new_string1 + str(num)
    new_string2 = new_string2 + str(num)*2 #
    repeating the character
    #print the strings
    print(new_string1)
    print(new_string2)

    strConstruct()
