this is good

I know thank you

naming conventions should be followed, code should be readable. using e and v is very obfuscated

how does this work? I don't understand what the function is returning.

python is amazing
it almost feels like cheating

very compact

thanx!!

ofc not. But you won't ever have to write stuff like that in production (if that happens that would surely mean there is a problem in the project itself... x) That or you have really funny guys for colleagues x) )

is it popular to write functions like this in production?

is it popular in production code?

because solution deifned that way is already a function accepting one argument

how does it work without def solution():

How does this avoid collisions? There are almost as many tests as there are possibilities for 1 to 4 lowercase letters; I'd have thought anything but sequential assignment would run into problems. Are the tests flawed?
