Problem StatementDurga, a computer science student, wants to write a program that inputs a character and determines its predecessor according to two rules: If the character is 'a' or 'A', map it to 'z' or 'Z'For any other character, map it to the one immediately before it. Help her with the program that uses a function called processInput() and prints the immediate predecessor of the input character.Input format :The input character is a valid alphabetical character (either uppercase or lowercase).Output format :The output displays a single character, which is the predecessor of the input character based on the specified rules.Refer to the sample output for formatting specifications.Code constraints :The character is a valid alphabetical character (either uppercase or lowercase).The program does not handle non-alphabetic characters.Sample test cases :Input 1 :AOutput 1 :ZInput 2 :gOutput 2 :fInput 3 :zOutput 3 :yInput 4 :tOutput 4 :sNote :The program will be evaluated only after the “Submit Code” is clicked.Extra spaces and new line characters in the program output will result in the failure of the test case.Marks : 10Negative Marks : 0

Solution

Here is a Python solution for the problem:

def processInput(char):
    if char == 'a':
        return 'z'
    elif char == 'A':
        return 'Z'
    else:
        return chr(ord(char) - 1)

# Test the function
print(processInput('A'))  # Output: Z
print(processInput('g'))  # Output: f
print(processInput('z'))  # Output: y
print(processInput('t'))  # Output: s

This program works by defining a function processInput that takes a character as input. If the character is 'a' or 'A', it returns 'z' or 'Z' respectively. For any other character, it uses the ord function to get the ASCII value of the character, subtracts 1 to get the ASCII value of the previous character, and then uses the chr function to convert this ASCII value back to a character. This character is then returned as the result. The function is then tested with several different inputs to demonstrate that it works correctly.

Write a program that asks the user to input two strings: an input string and a"pattern" string. Both strings contain only lowercase alphabet, and the"pattern" string is shorter than the input string. The program finds and countsnumber of occurrences of the "pattern" string in the input string, assuming thatthe number of occurrences is less than 10. The program replaces the firstcharacter of the first appearance of the "pattern" string in the input string by '1'and the first character of the second appearance of the "pattern" string in theinput string by '2' and so on so forth. Finally, the program outputs two strings:the original input string and the modified string, a string in a line, ended withnewline.
