exercise_1.py — About me, from input

Ask the user for their name, age, and city using input(), then print a sentence about them using an f-string. Cast the age to int and print what their age will be in 5 years.

Example run:

What is your name?
Ada
How old are you?
25
What city do you live in?
Tbilisi
My name is Ada, I am 25 years old, and I live in Tbilisi.
In 5 years I will be 30.

exercise_2.py — Fix the bug

This code raises a TypeError. Copy it into exercise_2.py, then fix it using type casting so it runs without error.

age = input("How old are you?\n")
print("Next year you will be " + (age + 1))  # BUG: fix this line

Expected output (for an input of 25):

How old are you?
25
Next year you will be 26

exercise_3.py — Clean the input

Ask the user for their full name with input(). Assume they might type extra spaces or the wrong case, e.g. " ada LOVELACE ". Clean it up with .strip() and .title(), then print the cleaned name and its length with len().

Example run (input is " ada LOVELACE "):

Enter your full name:
  ada LOVELACE  
Cleaned name: Ada Lovelace
Length: 12

exercise_4.py — Truthy or falsy

Ask the user to type something (they may just press Enter without typing anything). Print whether bool(...) of what they typed is True or False. Then, separately, print bool("0") and explain with a comment why it is not False.

Example run (user just presses Enter):

Type something (or press Enter for nothing):

bool of your input: False
bool("0"): True

exercise_5.py — Bonus: price with VAT

Ask the user to enter a price with input(), cast it to float. Using a constant VAT_RATE = 0.18, compute the total price with VAT included and print it rounded to 2 decimal places with round(...).

Example run (input is 100):

Enter a price:
100
Total with VAT: 118.0
