PROJECT 1 - MAD LIBS

Lab 3 Overview

Your goal in this lab is to create a program that will input the user's first and last names separately and then greet them.

In addition, try running the example below and adding extra spaces before or after the name or using lowercase for the names.

Strip

The strip() method removes any leading (spaces at the beginning) and trailing (spaces at the end) whitespace characters from a string.
It's useful for cleaning up user input or textual data. Often, extra spaces can cause issues in string manipulation or when comparing strings.

Title

The title() method converts the first character of each word in a string to uppercase and the rest to lowercase.
This is particularly useful for formatting names or titles in a standardized way.

Function Chaining

Function chaining involves calling multiple functions in a single statement. In Python, you can chain methods by appending one method call after another, separated by periods. Chaining functions can make your code more concise and can also potentially improve performance by reducing the number of intermediate variables. However, it's essential to ensure that the code remains readable and maintainable.

F-Strings

Formatted string literals, or "f-strings", allow you to embed expressions inside string literals, using curly braces { }. They make it easier to concatenate and format strings. f-strings are often more readable and concise compared to other methods of string formatting.
