Question
Write a python function that takes a string as an argument. Then converts this string using the following three rules and finally RETURNS a new string to the function call. If the string is one character long, leave it alone. If the string ends with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), just add ‘yay’ to the beginning of the string. (e.g., “apple” => “yayapple”) Otherwise, the last letter of the string is moved to the front and ‘ay’ is appended to the end (e.g., “dalek” => “kdaleay”) Assume, the argument string will always be in lowercase letters without any spaces. [ You cannot use slicing. You cannot use any built-in functions except input(), len(), split(), list.append(). ] ================================================
Function call1: function_name("b")
Sample Output 1: b
Explanation 1: Here, the length of the string is 1, so no modification was done to it. ================================================
Function call2: function_name("apple")
Sample Output 2: yayapple
Explanation 2: Here, the length of the string is greater than 1, and it ends with a vowel. So, “yay” was added at the beginning of the string. ================================================
Function call3: function_name("dalek")
Sample Output 3: kdaleay
Explanation 3: Here, the length of the string is greater than 1, and it does not end with a vowel. So, the last character ‘k’ was moved to the beginning of the string, and ‘ay’ was added at the end.

- Programing Carrow_forwardfor python programming make a program, that has a function that takes in a string argument and prints a sentence indicating the shortest word in that string. If there is more than one word print only the first. Your print statement should read: “The shortest word is x” Where x = the shortest word. The word should be all uppercase.arrow_forwardWrite a program that inputs a student's name in the following form: lastName, firstName middleName. The program will convert the name to the following form: firstName middleName lastName. Your program must read the student's entire name in one variable and must consist of a user-defined function that takes as input a string, consisting of a student's name, and returns the string consisting of the altered name. You can use the string function find to find the index of ,(the comma); the function length to find the length of the string; and the function substr to extract the firstName, middleName, and lastName.arrow_forward
