Pootie Tang’s Famous Quotes#

Instructions:#

Pootie Tang’s iconic phrase “Wa Da Tah!” is already attention-grabbing, but let’s make it LOUDER by converting it to uppercase.

  1. Write Python code to convert “Wa Da Tah!” into all uppercase letters.

  • upper() is a string method that converts all lowercase letters in a string to uppercase.

  • This ensures Pootie’s catchphrase gets the volume it deserves—perfect for a high-energy scene in the movie.

  • save the original string to the variable phrase and the uppercase version to the variable phrase_upper.

def catchphrase():
        
    phrase = ...
    upper_phrase = ...
    print(upper_phrase)
    
catchphrase()

Pootie Tang’s is Awesome#

Instructions:#

PootieTang always knows how to tweak his phrases for maximum impact. Suppose the string “PootieTang is cool” needs an upgrade to “PootieTang is awesome”.

  1. Replace the word “cool” with “awesome” using Python.

  • The replace(old, new) method in Python replaces all occurrences of old with new in a string.

  • This allows Pootie Tang to adapt his style on the fly, just as he does in the film when he updates his approach to saving the day.

def replace_name():
        
    pt_phrase = "PootieTang is cool"
    modfied_phrase = ...
    print(modfied_phrase)

replace_name()
