## Welcome to HW2-2 task 2!
## Please refer to the assignment page for directions.


# Here is an  example with two break points:
a = 0
a + 5
#1-ex

a = 3
b = [max([-10, a - 4]), a + 4]
#2-ex

## The answers for the code above would look like this (though you should put the 
## answers right after the breakpoint -- i.e. after line 8 for 1-ex and after line 12 for 2-ex)
##
## 1-ex: Name, Type, Value
##  a, int, 5
##  CORRECTION: a is actually 0 since the line a + 5 doesn't actually change a
##
## 2-ex: Name, Type, Value
##  a, int, 3
##  b, list(int), [-1, 7]
##
## That's everything to this assignment. Remember that you will recieve full credit for each part
## even if you first guess was wrong as long as you correct yourself. The following code has 7
## breakpoints where you're expected to list the variables.
##
## Also, no, you do NOT need to list the variables from the example code.


####START OF CODE YOU NEED TO EXAMINE####
## Some of the commands will be new to you. If you see a command you don't understand, 
## make a best guess as to what it means (the comments will help.)
names = ['Grace', 'Memory', 'Peter', 'Miranda', 'Anna']
count = 5
#1 (breakpoint)

names = names + ['The Ocean Park Panda']
count + 1
#2

## sorted is a built-in function.
## If you give it a list, it will give you a new list that puts the elements of the old list
## in alphabetically sorted order 
newNames = sorted(names)
#3

## len is a built-in function that gives you the length of a string or list you input.
count = len(newNames[-1]) ## list[-1] gives you the LAST element
newString = "Ying Ying " + newNames[-1]
#4

newString = "A " + newString[24:30] + "!!!"
#5

mNames = []
if names[0][0] == 'M':
    mNames = mNames + [names[0]]
if names[1][0] == 'M':
    mNames = mNames + [names[1]]
if names[2][0] == 'M':
    mNames = mNames + [names[2]]
if names[3][0] == 'M':
    mNames = mNames + [names[3]]
if names[4][0] == 'M':
    mNames = mNames + [names[4]]
if names[5][0] == 'M':
    mNames = mNames + [names[5]]
#6

aEndNames = []
for name in names:
	if name[-1] == "a":   # string[-1] gives you the LAST character
		aEndNames = aEndNames + [ name ]
