Transcribed Image Text:Write a function that takes a string as its only argument and returns a string composed of the fifth(5th) and next to last character
of the incoming argument. Assume the string is long enough so that there is no trouble referencing those pieces of the
argument.
Also write a main that calls the function and prints out the value returned.
The string that is passed to the function could be a hard-coded one or be supplied in response to interactive input.
The first two lines of the file that you submit should be ones containing your name and today's date.
Your output statement should match the format shown below. If the argument to the function was a string made up of the 26
letters of the alphabet, the output would be:

Use concatenation and str() to print a message telling the user how old they will be in 5 years. 4. Ask the user to enter in values that might be floating point. 5. Print out the result of the calculation in a single print statement, using concatenation. 6. If Time In Python, the input() function is used to accept input. The result is stored as a string type. name = input ('what is your name?') print ('Hello ' + name) To be able to add 5 to the user input, it has to be converted to an integer. x = int(input ('what is your age?') print (x + 5) When you are printing out a string message and want to concatenate a number onto the string, use str() to convert a numeric value to a string. If the user entered 27, your output should be similar to the following: In 5 years you will be 32 years old Let's calculate…arrow_forwardProduce the shown program in C++ Ensure the program follows instructions and runs without error 10arrow_forwardHelp please with how to code this in pythonarrow_forward
