One Switch Strings

One Switch Strings

CheckiO platform has a similar mission Verify Anagrams, but in it you have to determine whether words are anagrams. In this mission, the task will be a little different. You are given two strings and need to determine whether you can swap two letters in the first string to get the second string. If so (or words are the same) - return True, if not - False.

For example, the string "btry", if we swap y and t, we get "byrt".

Input: Two strings (str).

Output: Logic value (bool).

Examples:

assert switch_strings("btry", "byrt") == True
assert switch_strings("boss", "boss") == True
assert switch_strings("solid", "disel") == False
assert switch_strings("false", "flaes") == False

Preconditions:

  • All letters are in lower case;
  • Only letters.
  • Settings
    Code:
    Other:
    Invalid hot key. Each hot key should be unique and valid
    Hot keys:

    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
