I want to find each number (for example, if the str contains 436, I don't want to interpret that as 4, 3, 6 - I instead want to interpret that as 436, which is why I created a list and then joined back into a string afterwards. > > Please test it by running it, seeing that the result is not correct, then > try the desk checking. > I don't see how this is not correct, because my input was > > I got 432 when I counted, but Jim got 433 which > is a lot for only 6 cats, or were there 12 cats? > And my output was: I got 433 when I counted, but Jim got 434 which is a lot for only 7 cats, or were there 13 cats? > The below code is what I came up with without using your suggestion. > On a scale, how novice is mine compared to what you offered?
