Python question - Basic.

[X1XNobleX1X]

Hello forums,

I'm learning Python, just wanted a little help with my code: 

 

This is what I have at the moment:

 

word = input("Enter the word:")

length = int(input("Enter the repeat length:"))

count = int(input("Enter the repeat count:"))

length = word [-length:]

rest = word [:-count]

print (word+rest*count)

 

At the moment it produces: 

Enter the word: apple

Enter the repeat length: 3

Enter the repeat count: 4

 apple a a a a

 

 

The program has to produce this:

 

Enter the word: banana

Enter the repeat length: 2

Enter the repeat count: 3

banananana

 

or:

Enter the word: apple

Enter the repeat length: 3

Enter the repeat count: 4

appleplepleple

 

So writing a program that reads the three lines of input. The first line is the word, than a number of characters to repeat, than a number of repeats. 

 

Thanks!

I don't see a need for the variable rest, but I included both a solution with it as well as one without. Also, you redefine the variable length to be a string after it was an int. Not sure if it was intended, but that will force a specific order if you want to keep the code as close to the original as possible.

word = input("Enter the word:")length = int(input("Enter the repeat length:"))count = int(input("Enter the repeat count:"))rest = word[:-length]length = word[-length:]print(rest + length*count) 

word = input("Enter the word:")length = int(input("Enter the repeat length:"))count = int(input("Enter the repeat count:"))length = word[-length:]print(word + length*(count-1))

word = input("Enter the word: ");length = int(input("Enter the repeat length: "));count = int(input("Enter the repeat count: "));rest = word[:-length]; # the rest of the wordend = word[-length:]; # the part to the repeatedprint(rest+end*count);

word = input("Enter the word: ");length = int(input("Enter the repeat length: "));count = int(input("Enter the repeat count: "));rest = word[:-length]; # the rest of the wordend = word[-length:]; # the part to the repeatedprint(rest+end*count);

That worked.

You're amazing!

Thank you!
