\frametitle{Question 1}
\label{sec-2}

  Obtain the sub-string excluding the first and last characters from
  the string \texttt{s}.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]

\label{sec-3}

\begin{verbatim}
In []:  s[1:-1]
\end{verbatim}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Question 2}
\label{sec-4}

  Given a list week, week = \texttt{week = ["sun", "mon", "tue", "wed",   "thu", "fri", "sat"]}. Check if \texttt{s} is a valid name of a day of the
  week. Change the solution to this problem, to include forms like,
  SAT, SATURDAY, Saturday and Sat.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Solution 2}
\label{sec-5}

\begin{verbatim}
In []:  s in week
In []:  s.lower()[:3] in week
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Question 3}
\label{sec-6}

  Given \texttt{email} -- \texttt{info@fossee[dot]in}

  Replace the \texttt{[dot]} with \texttt{.} in \texttt{email}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Solution 3}
\label{sec-7}

\begin{verbatim}
email.replace('[dot], '.')
print email
\end{verbatim}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Question 4}
\label{sec-8}

  From the \texttt{email\_str} that we generated, change the separator to be a
  semicolon instead of a comma.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Solution 4}
\label{sec-9}

\begin{verbatim}
email_str = email_str.replace(",", ";")
