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
Input
Breaking News
K
Output
Beaige
Explanation
Only Beaige are before K or k in the alphabetic order.
Example Input/Output 2
Input

mLILEinCE
Note: Max Execution Time Limit: 500 millisecs
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="")
