I am writing a program on python 3.4 and I'm not sure how to do it

In this programming assignment you are going to use the material covered in Chapter 8 More About Strings to write a program called stringreport.py that creates a report about a string entered by the user at a prompt.

Requirements

Request a string from the user using the prompt "Enter a string: " and do the following:

• Determine the length of the entered string and do one of the following:

o If it is zero characters in length output the message "You did not enter anything!" and exit the program.

o If the entered string is one or more characters in length display the following information about the string and exit the program.

§ The length of the string. That is, the number of characters it contains.

§ The first character of the string.

§ The last character of the string.

§ Indicate if the string contains the word "open".

§ Indicate if the string contains only alphabetic letters and spaces.

§ Indicate if it contains only numeric digits.

§ Indicate if the entire string is lower case.

§ Indicate if the entire string is upper case. Note: For the items above that say "Indicate if...", the output is to present a "yes" or "no".

The information is to be formatted in reports that look like the ones presented in the following examples. The labels shown are to be used in your program.

Explanation / Answer

Program code:

str = input('Enter a string as input: ')
if(len(str) is 0):
    print('You did not enter anything!')
    exit(0)
print('The string you have entered is: ',str)
print('Length: ', len(str))
print ('First character: ', str[0])
print ('Last character: ', str[len(str) - 1])
if(str.count('open', 0, len(str)) > 0):
    print ('String Contains open: yes')
else:
    print( 'String Contains open: no')
if all(x.isalpha() or x.isspace() for x in str):
    print( 'String contains Only alphabets and spaces: yes')
else:
    print ('String contains Only alphabets and spaces: no')
if(str.isdigit()):
    print ('String contains Only numeric digits: yes')
else:
    print ('String contains Only numeric digits: no')  
if(str.islower()):
    print ('All lower case alphabets: yes')
else:
    print ('All lower case alphabets: no')
if(str.isupper()):
    print ('All upper case alphabets: yes')
else:
    print ('All upper case alphabets: no')
