first_half

Given a string of even length, return the first half. So the string “WooHoo” yields “Woo”.

first_half("WooHoo") -> "Woo"
first_half("HelloThere") -> "Hello"
first_half("abcdef") -> "abc"

This exercise was taken from codingbat.com and has been adapted for the Python language. There are many great programming exercises there, but the majority are created for Java.

Starter Code

def first_half(string: str) -> str:
    pass


result = first_half('WooHoo')
print(result)

Tests

from main import first_half


def test_first_half_1():
    assert first_half('WooHoo') == 'Woo'


def test_first_half_2():
    assert first_half('HelloThere') == 'Hello'


def test_first_half_3():
    assert first_half('abcdef') == 'abc'


def test_first_half_4():
    assert first_half('ab') == 'a'


def test_first_half_5():
    assert first_half('') == ''


def test_first_half_6():
    assert first_half('0123456789') == '01234'


def test_first_half_7():
    assert first_half('kitten') == 'kit'
