Write a function swap_halves(s)
that takes a string s
, and returns a new string in which the two
halves of the string have been swapped.
For example, swap_halves("good day sunshine")
would return 'sunshine good day'
.
I tried something like
def swap_halves (s):
'''Returns a new string in which the two halves of the spring have swapped'''
return (s[0:len(s)] + s[len(s):] )
not sure how to do it without using if
or other statements.
I don't know what exactly you want but this might work
def swap_halves (s):
'''Returns a new string in which the two halves of the spring have swapped'''
i = int(len(s)/2)
print(s[i:] + s[:i] )
swap_halves("good day sunshine ")
def func(s):
return(s[0:1]*3+s[1:]+s[-1:]*3)
You are going to want to .split()
the text unless you don't mind some words getting cut say if your middle index falls in a word as someone pointed out, for string good day bad sunshine
you wouldn't want ad sunshinegood day b
def swapper(some_string):
words = some_string.split()
mid = int(len(words)/2)
new = words[mid:] + words[:mid]
return ' '.join(new)
print(swapper('good day bad sunshine'))

bad sunshine good day
As requested :
def tripler(text):
new = text[:1] * 3 + text[1:-1] + text[-1:] * 3
return new
print(tripler('cayenne'))
