I'm trying to understand this solution as well, could someone explain it to us?

If salary depends on amount of written symbols — write this way. An old hindu proverb.

Not an issue

Hello, I need some help. I figured out how to get the result pretended and I used spyder to get it. Everytime I test the code everything is fine, but, as soon as I try do to the sample tests or submit my solution it says: "ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()". Can anyone help me?

I have tried so many ways to make this code work and I guess I didn't understand te aim of it. If I test on IDLE the code that I managed to write the returns match, but everytime I run the sample tests it says «TypeError: 'int' object is not callable». Can anyone give me a light of what I may be doing wrong?

I really appreciate both comments, I had no idea I could just do what I thought that was the most practical in a specific situation and not just follow a rule that a professor told me. Thank you!

What your college was teaching you is wrong:

Besides, nobody takes these as actual "rules" that has to be followed in practice. The real answer is always "it depends", and caring about petty details like this makes you lose sight of the bigger picture and, hence, always end up with worse things.

that's essentially true when one is spreading the return statements in the middle of somewhat "big" blocks of code. For a so short function, the main drawback is not to have multiple "return"s but the amount of typing that generates!
