Section C: Programming Based Questions (5 Questions)
Instructions: Write Python code to solve the following problems.
1. Write a Python program that takes a string as input and counts the number of vowels (a, e, i, o, u), both
uppercase and lowercase, and prints the total count.
2. Write a program to check if a given string is a palindrome. A palindrome is a sequence of characters that
reads the same forwards and backward (e.g., "madam").
3. Write a Python program to reverse a given string without using a built-in function like s[::-1].
4. Write a program to remove all leading and trailing whitespace from a given string without using the
strip() method.
5. Write a program that takes a string and a substring as input and counts the number of times the substring
appears in the main string. Do not use the count() method.
