# Basic string exercises
# Fill in the code for the functions below. main() is already set up
# to call the functions with a few different inputs,
# printing 'OK' when each function is correct.
# The starter code for each function includes a 'return'
# which is just a placeholder for your code.
# It's ok if you do not complete all the functions, and there
# are some additional functions to try in string2.py.

# A. donuts
# Given an int count of a number of donuts, return a string
# of the form 'Number of donuts: <count>', where <count> is the number
# passed in. However, if the count is 10 or more, then use the word 'many'
# instead of the actual count.
# So donuts(5) returns 'Number of donuts: 5'
# and donuts(23) returns 'Number of donuts: many'
def donuts(count):
  # +++your code here+++
  if count<10:
    return "Number of donuts: "+str(count)
  else: return "Number of donuts: many"

# B. both_ends
# Given a string s, return a string made of the first 2
# and the last 2 chars of the original string,
# so 'spring' yields 'spng'. However, if the string length
# is less than 2, return instead the empty string.
def both_ends(s):
  # +++your code here+++
  if len(s)>2 :
    return s[:2]+s[-2:]
  else: return ''

# C. fix_start
# Given a string s, return a string
# where all occurences of its first char have
# been changed to '*', except do not change
# the first char itself.
# e.g. 'babble' yields 'ba**le'
# Assume that the string is length 1 or more.
# Hint: s.replace(stra, strb) returns a version of string s
# where all instances of stra have been replaced by strb.
def fix_start(s):
  # +++your code here+++
  return s[0]+s.replace(s[0],'*')[1:]

# D. MixUp
# Given strings a and b, return a single string with a and b separated
# by a space '<a> <b>', except swap the first 2 chars of each string.
# e.g.
#   'mix', pod' -> 'pox mid'
#   'dog', 'dinner' -> 'dig donner'
# Assume a and b are length 2 or more.
def mix_up(a, b):
  # +++your code here+++
  return a.replace(a[:2],b[:2])+" "+b.replace(b[:2],a[:2])

# Provided simple test() function used in main() to print
# what each function returns vs. what it's supposed to return.
def test(got, expected):
  if got == expected:
    prefix = ' OK '
  else:
    prefix = '  X '
  print '%s got: %s expected: %s' % (prefix, repr(got), repr(expected))

# Provided main() calls the above functions with interesting inputs,
# using test() to check if each result is correct or not.
def main():
  print 'donuts'
  # Each line calls donuts, compares its result to the expected for that call.
  test(donuts(4), 'Number of donuts: 4')
  test(donuts(9), 'Number of donuts: 9')
  test(donuts(10), 'Number of donuts: many')
  test(donuts(99), 'Number of donuts: many')

  print
  print 'both_ends'
  test(both_ends('spring'), 'spng')
  test(both_ends('Hello'), 'Helo')
  test(both_ends('a'), '')
  test(both_ends('xyz'), 'xyyz')

  print
  print 'fix_start'
  test(fix_start('babble'), 'ba**le')
  test(fix_start('aardvark'), 'a*rdv*rk')
  test(fix_start('google'), 'goo*le')
  test(fix_start('donut'), 'donut')

  print
  print 'mix_up'
  test(mix_up('mix', 'pod'), 'pox mid')
  test(mix_up('dog', 'dinner'), 'dig donner')
  test(mix_up('gnash', 'sport'), 'spash gnort')
  test(mix_up('pezzy', 'firm'), 'fizzy perm')

# Standard boilerplate to call the main() function.

# Additional basic string exercises

# D. verbing
# Given a string, if its length is at least 3,
# add 'ing' to its end.
# Unless it already ends in 'ing', in which case
# add 'ly' instead.
# If the string length is less than 3, leave it unchanged.
# Return the resulting string.
def verbing(s):
  # +++your code here+++
  if len(s) < 3 : return s
  elif s.endswith('ing') : return s+'ly'
  else : return s+'ing'
  return

# E. not_bad
# Given a string, find the first appearance of the
# substring 'not' and 'bad'. If the 'bad' follows
# the 'not', replace the whole 'not'...'bad' substring
# with 'good'.
# Return the resulting string.
# So 'This dinner is not that bad!' yields:
# This dinner is good!
def not_bad(s):
  # +++your code here+++
  not_p=s.find('not')
  bad_p=s.find('bad')

  if not_p>bad_p:
    return s
  else: return s.replace(s[not_p:bad_p+3],'good')

  return  

# F. front_back
# Consider dividing a string into two halves.
# If the length is even, the front and back halves are the same length.
# If the length is odd, we'll say that the extra char goes in the front half.
# e.g. 'abcde', the front half is 'abc', the back half 'de'.
# Given 2 strings, a and b, return a string of the form
#  a-front + b-front + a-back + b-back
def front_back(a, b):
  # +++your code here+++
  a_odd=len(a)%2
  b_odd=len(b)%2
  if a_odd:
    a_front=a[:len(a)//2+1]
    a_back=a[len(a)//2+1:]
  else:
    a_front=a[:len(a)//2]
    a_back=a[len(a)//2:]

  if b_odd:
    b_front=b[:len(b)//2+1]
    b_back=b[len(b)//2+1:]
  else:
    b_front=b[:len(b)//2]
    b_back=b[len(b)//2:]
  return a_front + b_front + a_back + b_back

# Simple provided test() function used in main() to print
# what each function returns vs. what it's supposed to return.
def test(got, expected):
  if got == expected:
    prefix = ' OK '
  else:
    prefix = '  X '
  print '%s got: %s expected: %s' % (prefix, repr(got), repr(expected))

# main() calls the above functions with interesting inputs,
# using the above test() to check if the result is correct or not.

  print 'verbing'
  test(verbing('hail'), 'hailing')
  test(verbing('swiming'), 'swimingly')
