 Coding Problem Keys 

 Preceding Alphabets 

 Problem Statement 

The program must accept a string S and an alphabet CH as the input. Then the program must print only the alphabets in S which occur before CH in the alphabetical order (from A to Z or a to z). CH can be in upper or lower case but the comparison must be case in-sensitive.

 Boundary Condition(s) 

2 <= Length of S <= 1000

 Input Format 

The first line contains string S.
The second line contains CH.

 Output Format 

The first line contains only the alphabets in S which occurs before CH in the alphabetical order.

 Example Input/Output 1

 Solution 

 Programming Language: Python 3 Language 

l=input().strip()
k=input().strip().lower()
s='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';j=0
for i in range(len(s)):
    if s[i]==k:
        j=i
        break
for i in l:
    if i.lower() in s[:j]:
        print(i,end="")
