make_out_word¶

Given an “out” string length 4, such as “<<>>”, and a word, return a new string where the word is in the middle of the out string, e.g. “<<word>>”. Note: use str[i:j] to extract the String starting at index i and going up to but not including index j.

make_out_word("&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;", "Yay") -> "&lt;&lt;Yay&gt;&gt;"
make_out_word("&lt;&lt;&gt;&gt;", "WooHoo") -> "&lt;&lt;WooHoo&gt;&gt;"
make_out_word("[[]]", "word") -> "[[word]]"

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 make_out_word(out: str, word: str) -> str:
    pass


result = make_out_word('<<>>', 'Yay')
print(result)
