Maybe pre-generate the values beforehand or resort to a combination-based approach. Also your latest solution is wrong as you have taken 558 etc. into account.

Yes, like a lot of people did using "json.dumps". You just create a non-organized string from a very exploitable native python dictionary.

Very naughty! It would have been interesting to actually have a json representation of the data as a string, 'json.loads' it and get data from it. Here we already have a parsed structure native to python, it's a complete non-sense!

fact

That's what mirroring mean. Read this carefully --> To make it a bit more clear: e.g. in case of "abcdefgh" as the second optional parameter, you replace "a" with "h", "b" with "g" etc. . So, in the case above w --> w and --> * and vice-versa

Agreed. If you want a fast solution, don't use Python

Not a valid suggestion, closing

This should be reraised as an issue.

yeah I used .isnumeric lol

I hope never to see such code in production. :)
Neat though.

Fork published with bugfix, see above
