Problem Highlights

• 💡 Difficulty: Easy
• ⏰ Time to complete: 5 mins
• 🛠️ Topics: Functions, Strings, Paramters

U-nderstand

Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.

• Established a set (2-3) of test cases to verify their own solution later.
• Established a set (1-2) of edge cases to verify their solution handles complexities.
• Have fully understood the problem and have no clarifying questions.
• Have you verified any Time/Space Constraints for this problem?

• The function greeting() should take a single parameter, name, and print a specific greeting message that includes the provided name.

HAPPY CASE
Input: "Michael"
Expected Output: Welcome to The Hundred Acre Wood Michael! My name is Christopher Robin.

Input: "Winnie the Pooh"
Expected Output: Welcome to The Hundred Acre Wood Winnie the Pooh! My name is Christopher Robin.

EDGE CASE
Input: "" (empty string)
Expected Output: Welcome to The Hundred Acre Wood ! My name is Christopher Robin.

P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Define a function that takes a parameter and prints a formatted string using that parameter.

1. Define the function `greeting(name)`.
2. Use the `print()` function to display the string "Welcome to The Hundred Acre Wood {name}! My name is Christopher Robin." using the provided name.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Incorrectly formatting the string (ensure it matches exactly).
• Forgetting to pass the parameter to the function.

I-mplement

Implement the code to solve the algorithm.

def greeting(name):
    print(f"Welcome to The Hundred Acre Wood {name}! My name is Christopher Robin.")
