 1. The following presentation presents a programming problem and takes you through the steps to solve it. Select 'Yes', when complete. (1 mark)

  Yes

  No

 2. On being presented with a programming problem, it is important to break the problem down. What is this called? (1 mark)

 3. Any given program can be divided into three main parts - what are they? (3 marks)

 4. Name all the variables in this program. (3 marks)
firstname=input("Enter your first name:")
lastname=input("Enter your last name:")
gender=input("Enter your gender:")
 if gender=="male":
username= lastname[-4:]+firstname[0:2]
else:

gender=input("Enter your gender:")
 if gender=="male":
username= lastname[-4:]+firstname[0:2]
else:
username=firstname[0:3]+lastname[0:2]
 print(username)

 9. Name the programming constructs used in this program. (Sequence,Selection,Iteration) (2 marks)
firstname=input("Enter your first name:")
lastname=input("Enter your last name:")
gender=input("Enter your gender:")
 if gender=="male":
username= lastname[-4:]+firstname[0:2]
else:
username=firstname[0:3]+lastname[0:2]
 print(username)

 10. The following program seeks to isolate the first four characters from any given entered string. Correct line 2 such that it produces the correct output. E.g. input: "ABCDEFG" would output "ABCD" (2 marks)
word=input("Enter a string of letters:")
newword= word[2:4]
print(output)
