Sorry, it is Java...i've been doing alot in both

Python

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. works perfect now, passes all.
I'm not the best with string/char manipulation.
I spent a lot of time on it and when the large random test didn't match I wanted to check.

python

got everything to pass except a long random test.
i can print s that is passed in and it doesn't match the output on the expected result displayed
any reason why the string in and string expected would be different?

**to clarify-I don't mean they are different due to the last !, the letters/chars start to differ after several lines in

a testRandomValues passed in 2 customers, [3,6] with 5 registers. it was expecting 2 as the answer.
if 2 customers hit 2 out of 5 registers, the total time should be the longest of the 2, which is 6 seconds to complete
