front_3

Given a string, we’ll say that the front is the first 3 chars of the string. If the string length is less than 3, the front is whatever is there. Return a new string which is 3 copies of the front.

front_3("Java") -> "JavJavJav"
front_3("Chocolate") -> "ChoChoCho"
front_3("abc") -> "abcabcabc"

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 front_3(string: str) -> str:
    pass


result = front_3('Java')
print(result)

    assert front_3('Java') == 'JavJavJav'
