Practice writing small programs on paper. ay particular attention to user input, string methods/functions, if-else, operators (logical, membership etc,), list/string iterations using for-loop, range, sum/counting inside loop etc.
   
   In addition to the lecture slides, labs, and other preparation you might want to do, read and practise examples from the chapters 1,2,5,7 and 8 of the Think Python 2.
   
   Sample Questions for Midterm Practice:
   1. Ask the user for a string and print out whether this string is a palindrome or not. (A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards and backwards.)
   2. Create a program that asks the user to enter their name and their age. Print out a message addressed to them that tells them the year that they will turn 100 years old. Ensure that the first letter of the name is printed in uppercase.
   3. Write a Python program to remove punctuations from a string entered by the user. Check each character of the string using for loop. If the character is a punctuation, assign an empty string to it.
   4. Write a program that accepts sequence of words as input and prints the words after making all characters in the sentence capitalized.
