My script returns no values
#1
Hi,

I have just started doing the google python course online and am completing my first assignment by running the string1.py script. I have tested my little routines in the python interpreter and they work there, by when i actually run the string1.py script the test routines tell me they got nothing returned from my code. I am running on a Windows 10 machine at the command line. Python 2.7..

Here is my script, please point me in the right direction, thanks:

# 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):
p = count
if p <= 9:
print 'Number of donuts:', p
elif p >= 10:
print '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):
if len(s) >= 2:
p = s[:2] + s[-2:]
print p
elif len(s) < 1:
print s



# 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# where all instances of stra have been replaced by strb.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+++
if len(s) >= 1:
r = s[1:]
p = s[:1]
p = p + r.replace(p, '*')
print p


# 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+++
if len(a) >= 2 and len(b) >= 2:
p = a[:2]
r = b[:2]
print r + a[2:], p + b[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.
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
