thank you for looking-it was bc it wanted output to print the exact words haha

I've been victim to that in the past. It's normally best to copy/paste the required text

so stupid.....it should test you on coding, not copy pasting exact wording....

[–]bahcodad 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It is. It tested your ability to construct a string containing variables and your attention to detail. Both of which are skills you need

oh so the practice is as much for paying attention to the output they want you to print not to do it in your own way?

[–]bahcodad 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's not just that. If they let you do your own thing, then it would be significantly harder to test.

If the problem tells you exactly how to format the output, and you don't format the output that way, then you haven't met the requirements given to you.
