6. Write code for the following without using any sting method or slicing:
(i) To input a string from the user and display it in reverse order.
(ii) To input a string and count the number of lowercase alphabets, uppercase alphabets, and
digits in it.
(iii) to input two strings and create a new string by joining first three characters of the first string
and last four characters of the second string. Assume that each string has sufficient number of
characters.
(iv) To input a string and display all its characters except the first and the last character.
(v) To input a string and find the frequency of each character of the string.
Hint: Use a dictionary to form the frequency table.
(vi) To input a string and replace each lower case vowel of the string with a ‘*’. Then display the
string.
(vii) To input the first name, middle name, and last name of a person and then display the short
name of the person. For example if the person’s name is Chander Mohan Subramanian, the
output should be C.M.Subramanian.
(viii) To input two strings and check whether first string appears in the second string or not.
(ix) To input a string and check whether it is a palindrome or not. The checking should not be case
sensitive.

that is surrounded by double quotes: txt = "We are the so-called "Vikings"
from the north."
(R) Reason : To fix this problem, use the escape character \":

(d) A is True and R is correct explanation of A
Q.39 (A) Assertion str1=”Hello” and str1=”World” then print(str1*3) will give 1
error
(R) Reason : * replicates the string hence correct output will be
HelloHelloHello
