Question

1. Using escape characters, print out the phrase “Welcome to O’Neil’s Boat Rentals!”
2. Initialize one string variable to the following sentence:

“Hello there! How are you? I'm doing fine."

Using the print() function and escape characters, make the output look exactly as below: (Be sure there’s a single quote in the word I’m.

Hello there!

How are you?

I'm doing fine.

2. Write a small program using a ‘while’ loop (while True).
3. Prompt the user to enter their age.
4. Using a string function, check if the input is a decimal value, if true then break from the loop.
5. Continue prompting the user until a whole number (isdecimal) has been entered.
6. Using a string function, print your first and last name with the * symbol on both sides of your name with a max of 25 characters.

Answer 1

What language are you using?

In most languages you do not need an escape key to print a single quote.

For example in Python you can write

print("I'm")

But let me just answer your question about escape keys.

You would need an escape key to display a double quote ("), as in the sentence

He said: "Hi"

You need the escape key there because a double quote (") by itself would terminate the string.

In most languages the escape key is the back slash (\).

In Python the above sentence would come out from

print("He said: \"Hi\"")

Try several combinations, for example

print("\"") prints: "

print("\\") prints: \

print("\t") prints a tab

print("\n") prints a new line
