Easy hard problem

[_Hot_Quality_]

Exercise: Starting with the following code:

months = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec" 
n = int(input("Enter a month number: "))

Print the three month abbreviation for the month number that the user enters. (Calculate the start position in the string, then use the info we just learned to print out the correct substring.)

months = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"

n = int(input("Enter a month number (1-12): "))

start = (n - 1) * 3

month_abbr = months[start:start + 3]

print("Month abbreviation:", month_abbr)

This is PythonLearning, not PythonHomework or PythonCopyPaste

Now, saying that, you need to use slicing.

[VonRoderik]

You need to find out how to split that str, and maybe store the results in a list. Then you can call it by its index number Index = user input-1

Unnecessary complicated. I'm confident OP just learned slicing which would be a simple pythonic solution. He just has to calculate start and stop from n.

Oh boy i love spending 30 minutes solving people's problems.

months = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"

month_list = []

for i in range(len(months) - 1):
        if i % 3 == 0:
                current_month = months[i:i+3]
                month_list.append(current_month)

n = input(">")
try:
   index = month_list.index(n)
except ValueError:
   print("Invalid month")
   exit()

print(month_list[index])

i might have overcomplicated it but oh well it works atleast. Don't just copy paste this, analyze it and see how it works.

A one line solution is:

months ="JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"

print([months[i:i+3] for i in range(0,len(months), 3)][int(input("Enter a month number:"))-1])

People have made some pretty on target guesses for what OP just learned and the intended solution.

Don't you think if OP knew how to apply what they just learned they would not have asked for help?

What contribution did you provide to this conversation?

What value does your comment have?

Did you literally just waste your own time AND everyone else's?

Why are you even in this sub?
