This is my first ever question so apologies if there are any errors in how this has been asked, welcome any criticism.
I am having an issue with my function SplitSub in the substring part of the pset.
When I run this with a test,
# Test Print
print(subB)
Where b contains a textile with just the word "hello" in. I would expect the output: "he" "el" "ll" "lo" for an n value of 2 however i just get "he".
It seems the issue is the function stops after the first two letters?
Please help
def substrings(a, b, n):
"""Return substrings of length n in both a and b"""
# Function to split variable into Substring
def splitSub(x,n):
# Formula for number of times string x is split for given n
splits = (len(x)//n + 2)
for i in range(splits):
return x[i:i+n]
# Split each string a,b into all substrings of length n
subA = splitSub(a,n)
subB = splitSub(b,n)
# Test Print
print(subB)
# Compute list of all substrings appearing in both a and b
mylist = []
for substring1 in subA:
for substring2 in subB:
if substring1 == substring2:
mylist = substring1
# Return the list
return [mylist]
