Answer 1

Rain ,

when we have 8 `u`, we should get 8//4 => 2 exclamation marks .

your code sample shows 3 of them.

this means, that we have to handle the case when number of `u` is <= 4 different.

sample:
def siuuuuuu_generator(n):
if isinstance(n, int) and n > 0:
u_string = 'u' * n
return 'si' + u_string + '!' if n <= 4 else 'si' + u_string + (n // 4) * '!'
else:
return 'Invalid input. Please enter a positive integer.'

num = int(input())
print(siuuuuuu_generator(num))

Answer 2

P A Arrchith Iyer ,

to get the output according your definition, we can use an if / else conditional or a ternary:

> you could use an if conditional for all input numbers <= 4 to add / concatenate just one '!'.

> in the else clause you can generate the new multiplicator for '!' by diividing the input number by 4 and make it an int value.

> use this number to multiplicate '!' and create the output string for the else condition..

Answer 3

Rain ,

thanks, i forgot the second slash, so division should be integer division. already corrected.

Answer 4

Jay Matthews what if we enter the number that less than 4

Lothar ,

That's why I said it was "close". However, after this mod, it's perfect.

for n in range(1, 17):
print(
"si"
+ "u" * n
+ "!" * (((n - 1) // 4) + 1)
)

""" Output:
siu!
siuu!
siuuu!
siuuuu!
siuuuuu!!
siuuuuuu!!
siuuuuuuu!!
siuuuuuuuu!!
siuuuuuuuuu!!!
siuuuuuuuuuu!!!
siuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
siuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
siuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
siuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
"""

There are two problems with yours. The first is you can't multiply str * float. The second (with repair, and looped) is your ranges aren't the same width, so the progression isn't smooth. In other words, your first range is 7 values wide.

""" Output:
siu!
siuu!
siuuu!
siuuuu!
siuuuuu!
siuuuuuu!
siuuuuuuu!
siuuuuuuuu!!

# This is close.

for n in range(1, 11):
print(
"si"
+ "u" * n
+ "!" * ((n // 4) + 1)
)

""" Output:
siu!
siuu!
siuuu!

Glad you found the solution! It's easy to overlook a simple detail like a missing second slash, but rectifying it ensures the intended integer division. Great job on the correction!
