Question

Given a word from a user:

word = input("Enter a word:")
Show how you would go through and print each character twice. For example, if the user typed "peanut," your program should print:
ppeeaannuutt
A) for i in word: print(i2)
B) for i in word: print(i+i)
C) for i in word: print(2i)
D) for i in word: print(2*i+1)

Answer 1

Option B) for i in word: print(i+i) is the correct code snippet for printing each character twice. The user's input word will be processed to double each character and produce the desired output.

Step-by-step explanation:

To achieve the task of printing each character of a word twice, you should iterate over each character in the string provided by the user and print it two times. Out of the given code snippets, option B) for i in word: print(i+i) will give you the desired result. The other options either have syntax errors or will not execute as intended. Here's an example of how your code should look:

word = input("Enter a word:")
for i in word:
print(i+i)

When the user enters the word 'peanut,' the output of this code will be 'ppeeaannuutt' as each character in the string is doubled when print(i+i) is executed.
