04_alphabetically_last.py

# Python comparison operators can also be used on strings. String a is smaller than string b if it comes
# alphabetically before b. Notice however that the comparison is only reliable if
#
# the characters compared are of the same case, i.e. both UPPERCASE or both lowercase
# only the standard English alphabet of a to z, or A to Z, is used.
# Please write a program which asks the user for two words. The program should then print out whichever of the two
# comes alphabetically last.
#
# You can assume all words will be typed in lowercase entirely.
#
# Some examples of expected behaviour:
#
# Sample output
# Please type in the 1st word: car
# Please type in the 2nd word: scooter
# scooter comes alphabetically last.
#
# Sample output
# Please type in the 1st word: zorro
# Please type in the 2nd word: batman
# zorro comes alphabetically last.
#
# Sample output
# Please type in the 1st word: python
# Please type in the 2nd word: python
# You gave the same word twice.

word1 = input("Please type in the 1st word: ")
word2 = input("Please type in the 1st word: ")

message = "You gave the same word twice."

if word1 > word2:
    message = f"{word1} comes alphabetically last."
elif word2 > word1:
    message = f"{word2} comes alphabetically last."

print(message)
