This is my first effort on solving the exercise. I gotta say, I'm kind of liking Python. :D
# 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):
if len(s) >= 3:
if s[-3:] == "ing":
s += "ly"
else:
s += "ing"
return s
else:
return s
# +++your code here+++
return
What do you think I could improve on here?
