List Beautify
Let's assume, you are given a list of lists of positive/negative integer/float numbers, for example - [[1, 2, 10, 150], [10, 2, 1000, 2], [1, 120, 1, 1000]]. It's always correctly filled: has at least one non-empty inner list.
When you print it as a single object, you receive
![]() |
[[1, 2, 10, 150], [10, 2, 1000, 2], [1, 120, 1, 1000]] |
![]() |
[1, 2, 10, 150] [10, 2, 1000, 2] [1, 120, 1, 1000] |
Your function should return something from both views and improved: a single string (multiline if more than one inner list), where numbers in columns should be right-aligned. There must be exactly one whitespace between the longest number in a column incl. minus (if present) and the previous comma in a row. All rows of the same length, wrapped together in the list brackets.
![]() |
[[ 1, 2, 10, 150], [10, 2, 1000, 2], [ 1, 120, 1, 1000]] |
Isn't it beautiful now 😍?
Input: List of lists of numbers.
Output: String.
Examples:
assert ( list_beautify([[1, 2, 10, 150], [10, 2, 1000, 2], [1, 120, 1, 1000]]) == "[[ 1, 2, 10, 150],\n [10, 2, 1000, 2],\n [ 1, 120, 1, 1000]]" ) assert list_beautify([[1, 10, 100, -1000]]) == "[[1, 10, 100, -1000]]" assert ( list_beautify([[1, 1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]) == "[[1, 1, 1, 1, 1],\n [1, 1, 1, 1, 1],\n [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]" ) assert ( list_beautify([[1, 1, -1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]) == "[[1, 1, -1, 1, 1],\n [1, 1, 1, 1, 1],\n [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]" )
CheckiO Extensions allow you to use local files to solve missions. More info in a blog post.
In order to install CheckiO client you'll need installed Python (version at least 3.8)
Install CheckiO Client first:
pip3 install checkio_client
Configure your tool
checkio --domain=py config --key=
Sync solutions into your local folder
checkio sync
(in beta testing) Launch local server so your browser can use it and sync solution between local file end extension on the fly. (doesn't work for safari)
checkio serv -d
Alternatevly, you can install Chrome extension or FF addon
checkio install-plugin
checkio install-plugin --ff
checkio install-plugin --chromium
