Newbie Python programmer tangling with Lists.
- by Sergio Tapia
Here's what I've got so far:
# A. match_ends
# Given a list of strings, return the count of the number of
# strings where the string length is 2 or more and the first
# and last chars of the string are the same.
# Note: python does not have a ++ operator, but += works.
def match_ends(words):
counter = 0
for word in words:
if len(word) >= 2 and word[0] == word[-1]:
counter += counter
return counter
# +++your code here+++
return
I'm following the Google Python Class, so this isn't homework, but me just learning and improving myself; so please no negative comments about 'not doing my homework'. :P
What do you guys think I'm doing wrong here?
Here's the result:
match_ends
X got: 0 expected: 3
X got: 0 expected: 2
X got: 0 expected: 1
I'm really loving Python, so I just know that I'll get better at it. :)
