# The code blocks were worth 2 points apiece.

# 1a  The letters in positions 3 to 7 are "repti", while the last letter
#     is "s", and the entire word has 13 letters.  So the answer is

#     reptiles house

# 1b  This basically puts an asterisk before each character and spaces
#     out the characters, giving

#     * B * o *   * P * e * e * p

# 1c  j takes on values 1, 3, 5, 7 so the letters in those positions are
#     h, s, a, c.  The letters are each in front of the previous, then
#     made uppercase, leading to the result

#     CASH

# 1d  There are two instances of the character "g" in the string, so

#     2

# 1e  There is no "a" nor "z", so the first if statement doesn't execute.
#     There are also no "m" nor "n", so the second if statement does.

#     has lost her sheep.


# 2   (3 points) The corrected code appears below.

color = raw_input("Enter your favorite color: ")
spaced = ""
for letter in word:
    spaced = spaced + letter + " "
print "Your spaced out word is", spaced + "."


# 3   (7 points) One program appears below.  Variations are possible, as usual.

word = raw_input("Enter a word of your choice: ")
word = word.strip()
word = word.lower()
count = 0
for j in range(0,len(word)-1):
    if word[j] == word[j+1]:
        count = count + 1
print "There were", count, "pairs of double letters in your word."
