Can anyody tell me a small chanlenge to do with strings

[Counteron]

I want to create a very small program using strings but nothing is coming to my head. A challenge for begginers.

[PiMaster]

Make a program that converts some text to pig latin.

[meeztered]

Make one that determines if a word/sentence is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word that is the same forwards and backwards, such as racecar or Some men interpret nine memos. And make it ignore punctuation for an added challenge. Here is what a sample run would look like:

Please enter a string:
  > ABCDEFGHGFEDCBA

  "ABCDEFGHGFEDCBA"  IS a palindrome


  Please enter a string:
  > The quick brown fox

  "The quick brown fox"  is NOT palindrome


  Please enter a string:
  > Cigar? Toss it in a can. It is so tragic.

  "Cigar? Toss it in a can. It is so tragic."  IS a palindrome

This isn't really much to do with string manipulation but if you're a beginner and haven't already made a program that reads from and writes to a text file, it's very useful to be able to do that.

[Maerle]

Write a program that asks for a user first name and last name separately.
The program must then store the users full name inside a single string and out put it to the string.
i.e.
Input:
John
Smith
Output:
John Smith

★ Modify the program so that it then replaces every a, e, i , o, u w/ the letter z.
i.e.
John Smith -> Jzhn Smzth

★★ Modify the Program so that it reverses the users name
i.e.
John Smith -> htimS nhoJ

[Zia Ur Rehman]

Calculate the net strength of a string by adding the ascii values of all the characters in a string. For example

ABC = int('A') + int('B') + int('C') = 65 + 66 +67 = 198
