W01 Code-along Activity: ID Badge Generator

Code-along Activity Overview

For this activity, you will code along with an instructor video that walks you through each step of the activity below. Make sure that you pause the video, or watch sections over if you need to, so that you are able to complete the entire activity.

Your instructor will post a link to the video in Microsoft Teams.

Overview

An ID badge, such as a drivers license or student ID, contains personal details that are formatted in a very specific way.

For this activity you will write a program that will create a properly formatted ID badge.

Program Requirements

Write a program to prompt the user for the following:

First name
Last name
Email Address
Phone Number
Job Title
ID Number

Then you should display the information back in this format:

Note that the square brackets [] indicate a value coming from the user and should not be displayed.


----------------------------------------
[LAST NAME], [first name]
[Job title]
ID: [id number]

[email address]
[phone number]
----------------------------------------

In addition to the spacing and punctuation shown above, you must implement the following requirements:

The last name should be converted from whatever the user types to be displayed in ALL CAPS.
The job title should be displayed so that the first letter is capitalized.
The email address should be displayed in all lowercase.

An example of the program running is shown:


Please enter the following information:

First name: Jane
Last name: Doe
Email address: JaneDoe@email.com
Phone number: (208) 555-1234
Job title: chief software architect
ID Number: 83-23821

The ID Card is:
----------------------------------------
DOE, Jane
Chief Software Architect
ID: 83-23821

janedoe@email.com
(208) 555-1234
----------------------------------------
