CS 271: Module 1: Python Basics Part 2 (1.5 Points)

Developed by Professor Tralie and Professor Mongan.

Exercise Goals

The goals of this exercise are:
  1. To use slicing notation in python
  2. To apply string concatenation in python

One thing I find myself doing all the time is converting formats of multimedia data with python scripts. Part of this is just getting the file paths correct. Let's say I wanted to convert an image file with a .jpg format to a .png format. Write the code comes up with the correct .png target filename using string slices and string concatenation. Hint: You can use a negative index as the end of a slice.
