Answer:
The program in Python is as follows:
str1 = " SOFTware".lower()
str2 = "hardware ".upper()
str3 = str1+str2
lent = len(str3)
print(lent)
Explanation:
(1) Convert " SOFTware" to lower
str1 = " SOFTware".lower()
(2) Convert "hardware " to upper
str2 = "hardware ".upper()
(3) Combine both strings
str3 = str1+str2
(4) Calculate the length of the new string
lent = len(str3)
(5) Print the calculated length
print(lent)
