The program below initializes 4 variables (season1, season2, season3, season4) and then uses them in a str.format() statement to create a long paragraph. Unfortunately, the parameters are not presented in the order they need to appear in the output string, so the default placeholders {} put the seasons in the wrong places.
Examine (but do not change) the order of the variables as input parameters to the str.format() call.
Determine which season should print first and put the number of that parameter inside the first {}. Remember, parameter indexing starts at 0.
Determine which season should print second and put the number of that parameter inside the second {}.
Determine which season should print third and put the number of that parameter inside the third {}.
Determine which season should print fourth and put the number of that parameter inside the fourth {}.
The following example demonstrates the expected program output.
It’s hard for me to pick a favorite season because I enjoy them all! Fall is great because the leaves change colors and I love carving pumpkins. Winter is great because it’s the holiday season and cold outside. Spring is great because the flowers bloom and it’s fun to play outside in the green grass. Summer is great because it’s sunny and we get a break from school. I love all the seasons.
Note that the entire paragraph will be on a single line in the output window; you will likely have to scroll to the right to read all of it. Also, remember that the backslash (\) character at the end of a line of code tells Python the statement continues on the next line. There is only 1 call to str.format(), broken across multiple lines for clarity.
season1 = "Winter"
season2 = "Spring"
season3 = "Summer"
season4 = "Fall"
print(str.format("It’s hard for me to pick a favorite season because I enjoy them all! \
{} is great because the leaves change colors and I love carving pumpkins. \
{} is great because it’s the holiday season and cold outside. \
{} is great because the flowers bloom and it’s fun to play outside in the green grass. \
{} is great because it’s sunny and we get a break from school. I love all the seasons.",\
season1, season2, season3, season4))

Do the code

season3 = "Summer"
season4 = "Fall"

The program below should ask the user for their two favorite things and print them in messages. The print() statements are completed for you. Take the following steps to finish the program.
Initialize a variable named faveThing and store the first value a user enters using the input() method.
Initialize a variable named faveThing2 and store the second value a user enters using another call to the input() method.
The following examples demonstrate the expected program output.
What is your favorite thing? cats
What is your second favorite thing? cheese
I also love cats :D
I hope you have a great day full of cats and cheese!
faveThing = input("What is your favorite thing? ")
faveThing2 = input("What is your second favorite thing? ")
print("I also love", faveThing, ":D")
print("I hope you have a great day full of", faveThing, "and", faveThing2 + "!")
