' on long buddy'a = "go on long buddy" a.lstrip("gonl")
' long on log buddy!'a = "go long on log buddy!" a.lstrip('gonl')
In both cases, lstrip just removed the first word... I don't see how this code is broken.
Hope we figure it out. Jacob
This code is broken. lstrip('gonl ') will remove *all* leading g, o, n, l and space, in any order:
>>> s='go long on log buddy!'
>>> s.lstrip('gonl ')
'buddy!'
Instead of y.lstrip('gonl ') you should use y[5:] or maybe y[len('gonl '):]
