Task 2 – Manipulating strings [30 marks]

Write a program that asks user for name, phone number (in format 03xxxxxxxxx) and
date of birth (in format dd/mm/yyyy) and displays a unique code in following format:
name_mm_dd_yyyy_03xxxxxxxxx

<you can only use ‘string’ datatype for this task>

<for simplicity enter your name without spaces>
Enter your name:
DaimArmaghan

Enter your Date of Birth (in format dd/mm/yyyy):

20/11/2002

Enter your phone number (in format 03xxxxxxxxx):

03331234567

Your Unique Code is:

DaimArmaghan_11_20_2002_03331234567

Task 3 – Letter swapping [30 marks]

Write a program that swaps two letters in a word. It should first ask user to input a
word and then ask the user to input position of character to be replaced. It should
then ask the user to input position of character to replace with. Finally, it displays the
updated word after swapping.
<you are not allowed to use If/else in this task. (-5 marks for violation)>
<positions start from 1>
<Hint: First character has position 1, second character has position 2, and so on>
<for simplicity:
• assume that positions entered by user are valid i.e., in range 1 to length of
word
• input word has at least 2 characters.
• position 1 is less than position 2. (“position of character to be replaced” is less
than “position of character to replace with”)>

<Note: All test Examples given below must pass to get full credit>

Test Examples:

to be replaced to replace with
salmon 1 6 nalmos
tuna 2 3 tnua
101011 1 2 011011

rocket

Enter position of character to be replaced:

2

Enter position of character to replace with:

5

Updated Word:
