[PriP 1.1] Revision Tour-1 – Practical 1.1

6. Write a program to print an acrostic poem as shown below:-

In the output, you need not print bigger letters for P E A C E, but make sure these letters make a vertical word in the output. (Acrostic poems are literary composition in which certain letters in each line form a word vertically. This acrostic poem for Peace was made using Bible verse, John 16:33)

These things I have sPoken unto you,
         that in me yE might have peace.
      The world ye shAll have tribulation:
     but be good for Cheer;
       I have overcomE the world.

Solution:

Here’s a Python program to print the acrostic poem:

print("These things I have sPoken unto you,")
print("         that in me yE might have peace.")
print("      The world ye shAll have tribulation:")
print("     but be good for Cheer;")
print("       I have overcomE the world.")

These things I have sPoken unto you,
         that in me yE might have peace.
      The world ye shAll have tribulation:
     but be good for Cheer;
       I have overcomE the world.

In the output, the vertical word “PEACE” is formed by the capitalized letters at the beginning of specific words, not necessarily at the beginning of each line. That’s what the definition of acrostic also refers to.
