Problem Highlights

• 💡 Difficulty: Easy
• ⏰ Time to complete: 5 mins
• 🛠️ Topics: Functions, String Formatting

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 madlib() should accept a string parameter verb and print a specific sentence incorporating that verb.

HAPPY CASE
Input: "give up"
Output: I have one power. I never give up. - Batman

Input: "nap"
Output: I have one power. I never nap. - Batman

EDGE CASE
In the case of the madlib() function, there aren’t any traditional edge cases to consider, as the function simply prints a fixed string without any inputs or conditions that could vary the output. 

P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Define a function that incorporates the parameter into a formatted string.

1. Define the function `madlib(verb)`.
2. Use an f-string to print the sentence with the verb included.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use the parameter verb in the f-string.
• Not using the correct syntax for f-strings.

I-mplement

Implement the code to solve the algorithm.

def madlib(verb):
    print(f"I have one power. I never {verb}. - Batman")
