Programming 5

The Python program in CS 1101 performs three operations on the name 'PraiseGod': substring extraction, vowel counting, and string reversal. It efficiently handles user input, counts vowels using a set for quick lookups, and reverses the string while preserving original casing. The program showcases Python's string manipulation capabilities with an O(n) time complexity for all operations.

CS 1101 - Programming Assignment Unit 5

Course:

Programming Fundamentals (CS 1101)


NAME: PRAISEGOD SHUMBA
University: University of the People
Technical Explanation

This Python program performs three key operations on the name "PraiseGod":

1. Substring Extraction

Ÿ Input Handling: Accepts user input for n and clamps it between 0 and the name's length (9 characters)

using max(0, min(n, len(name)))

Ÿ String Slicing: Uses name[:n] to extract characters from index 0 to n-1

Ÿ Validation: Prevents index errors for values outside 0-9 range

2. Vowel Counting

Ÿ Case Handling: Converts characters to lowercase using char.lower() for uniform comparison

Ÿ Set Membership: Uses a vowel set {'a','e','i','o','u'} for O(1) lookup efficiency

Ÿ Generator Expression: Efficiently counts matches with sum() and generator

3. String Reversal
Extended Slicing: Uses [::-1] syntax to create reversed copy

Ÿ Original Preservation: Maintains original casing while reversing

Screenshot.
Key Observations:

Ÿ Substring extraction shows "PraiseGod" (9 characters)

Ÿ Vowel count identifies 4 vowels (a, i, e, o)

Ÿ Reversal maintains original casing: "PraiseGod" → "doGesiarP"

The program demonstrates Python's string manipulation capabilities with O(n) time complexity for all operations,

making it efficient for typical use cases.
