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

Tenzin Norden Thinley
The second method output is not exactly the same as expected.
Your output has an extra space after the colon.
The lessons are very picky, an extra space can make it fail.

Answer 8

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 9

no no que estupidez

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

I tried to solve it in two ways, and both are wrong especially second one output is exact as their expected output but both comes error. then i went on unexpected output on third one and it's correct and that totally sucks on solving this issue.

" 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
"

Second One

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

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

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

Third one is ridiculous and it worked

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