Question 5
A user enters a year of birth, for example, 1999 or 2018. The rules for validation are:
 it is present
 it is exactly 4 characters in length
 years should start 20 or 19 only
 users cannot be younger than 16.

Open ‘Question5_Student.py’ in your programming environment.


Complete each of the ‘if statements’ to provide a validation check.
Do not change any other code.
Hints:
 if you can’t get one to work, comment it out and adjust indentation
 the third test uses slicing [0:2] to get the first two characters of the input string
 leave the user input as a string until the fourth test.
