String, Int, and List Review

This exercise helps assess your mastery of Python variables using string, integer, and list data types.

Video Walkthrough

Use this video to follow along with the steps in this lab.

Instructions

Perform the following Python programming tasks.

Create a new file called review1.py.
Create the code in review1.py that implements the following requirements.
Print the multiplication of 7 and 4.
Print the result of dividing 8 by 4.
Print the result of dividing 7/3 as an integer (rounded down using Python's default).
- For example, if the result of dividing 7/3 is 2.6667, your program should print 2.
Print raising 5 to the power of 4.
Create a string variable named first_name with the value of your first name (properly capitalized).
Create a string variable named last_name with the value of your last name (properly capitalized).
Print your first name and last name with a space between them using the first_name and last_name variables. (Do not modify the first_name or last_name variables to add a space.)
Print the first_name variable in lowercase.
Print the last_name variable in upper case.
Create a variable named lower_name that contains your full name, but lowercase. Use the first_name and last_name variables to obtain your name.
- For example, if first_name is "Jim" and last_name is "Marquardson", you should print "Jim Marquardson" using the variables and adding a space in between. Concatenate the three elements together.
Print lower_name.
Print the number of characters in lower_name.
Create a year variable with an integer of the current year.
Create a next_year variable by adding one to the year variable.
Print the value of year.
Print the value of next_year.
Create a list variable named countries containing the names of 3 countries.
Print the value of the second country in the list.
Add a fourth country to the countries list.
Print the countries list.
Remove a country from the countries list.
Print the countries list.
Print the length of the countries list.
Save the file.
Run the file. Fix any syntax errors or logic errors.

Challenge

Edit review1.py to add the following requirements.
Create a nested list named nessy with three sublists. Populate the sublists with any data you want.
Print the value of each item in all sublists using the list indexes.
Save and run the file.
