Discord Bot Exercise 1: Greeting Bot

Your Python Bot is connected to a real Discord server! Write functions, run your code, then click Send to Discord to see your bot post messages live.

Your Task

Write two functions that generate greeting and farewell messages for users joining and leaving a server.

Function 1: greet(name)

• Takes a player's name as a parameter
• Returns a welcome message string like: Welcome to the server, Alex! Glad to have you here.

Function 2: farewell(name, days_active)

• Takes a player's name and how many days they were active
• Returns a goodbye message
• If days_active is more than 30, include "You were a legendary member!"
• Otherwise, include "Hope to see you again soon!"

Starter Code

def greet(name):
    # Return a welcome message using an f-string
    pass

def farewell(name, days_active):
    # Return a goodbye message
    # Use a conditional to check days_active
    pass

# Test your functions:
print(greet("Alex"))  # Output: Welcome to the server, Alex! Glad to have you here.
print(greet("Jordan"))  # Output: Welcome to the server, Jordan! Glad to have you here.
print(farewell("Sam", 45))  # Output: Goodbye Sam! You were a legendary member!
print(farewell("Riley", 10))  # Output: Goodbye Riley! Hope to see you again soon!

Expected Output

Welcome to the server, Alex! Glad to have you here.
Welcome to the server, Jordan! Glad to have you here.
Goodbye Sam! You were a legendary member!
Goodbye Riley! Hope to see you again soon!

Hints

return f"Welcome to the server, {name}! ..."

if days_active > 30:
    return f"Goodbye {name}! You were a legendary member!"
else:
    return f"Goodbye {name}! Hope to see you again soon!"

def greet(name):
    return f"Welcome to the server, {name}! Glad to have you here."

def farewell(name, days_active):
    if days_active > 30:
        return f"Goodbye {name}! You were a legendary member!"
    else:
        return f"Goodbye {name}! Hope to see you again soon!"

Topics Practiced

• Functions with parameters and return values
• f-strings for string formatting
• Conditionals (if/else)
• Return vs Print — your functions return strings, then print() displays them
