Error in relay race practice code, possible

Question

players = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "David", "Eve", "Frank"]

#Create 3 lists with 2 players each
#Use slicing to create a list for Group 1
g1 = players[0:2]

#Use slicing to create a list for Group 2
g2 = players[2:4]

#Use slicing to create a list for Group 3
g3 = players[4:6]

print("Group 1:",g1)
#display the 1st group

print("Group 2:",g2)
#display the 2nd group

print("Group 3:",g3)
#display the 3rd group

This should print the correct code which it does, but the system does not recognize this.

Answer 1

Charles Bennett ,

please make sure that all relevant information that is required is given from your side when creating the post.

it should include:

> the programming language (to be placed in tags)

> if your post is related to a sololearn tutorial, we need to know the name of it, also the module name / number and lesson / exercise name.

> a clear task description with input / output sample

> a link that points to your code try

> a description what exactly your issue is, (if possible including an error message)

btw: the requested output is:
Group 1:
['Alice', 'Bob']
...

your output is:
Group 1: ['Alice', 'Bob']
...

Answer 2

Phantom Xen ,

your suggestion is totally hard-coded.

> the purpose of this exercise is to learn how we can write a code that can handle and print the content in a particular way.

btw: the given answer from you is passing the test case. i don't know what sololearn is thinking about accepting this *kind of code*.

Answer 3

Compare your output and the expected output.
Is there any difference?

Answer 4

Fatih Urgen ,

(1) > the output of your code sample does not show the required result. (see the comment in my first answer above). it should be done in 2 lines.

(2) > converting the slice (list of 2 elements) to a string will result in:

"['Eve', 'Frank']"

which is no longer a list but a string.

Answer 5

Here's a shortcut

print('''
Group 1:
['Alice', 'Bob']
Group 2:
['Charlie', 'David']
Group 3:
['Eve', 'Frank']
''')

Answer 6

Same. I was jk. But sololearn needs to update somethings about the ide even though the code will pass the test case

Answer 7

Even Though your output and the expected output are the same you won't understand why the test case isn't giving correct. Try this way

players = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "David", "Eve", "Frank"]

g1 = players[0:2]

g2 = players[2:4]

g3 = players[4:6]

print("Group 1:")
print(g1)

print("Group 2:")
print(g2)

print("Group 3:")
print(g3)

Answer 8

no no que estupidez

Answer 9

players = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie", "David", "Eve", "Frank"]

#Create 3 lists with 2 players each
#Use slicing to create a list for Group 1
g1 = players[0:2]

#Use slicing to create a list for Group 2
g2 = players[2:4]

#Use slicing to create a list for Group 3
g3 = players[4:6]

print("Group 1:" + str(g1))
#display the 1st group

print("Group 2:" + str(g2))
#display the 2nd group

print("Group 3:" + str(g3))
#display the 3rd group
