it might not work on some random tests, it should be testing for final length not for length of an input

if i didn't check for final length my solution would be like... 79 instead of 85 characters long

tbh tho, I didn't use strip because this test is stupid and only uses spaces

nice, BRO

I think you just need the .replace(' ','') in the expression of the if statement. No need to make the computer do extra work there.

don't think you need strip() if your next step is replacing ' ' with ''

Great solution! Don't think the strip() is necessary, and fstrings a more gracious way for prepending the hashtag at the beginning of the string. Also, as someone else mentioned below, it'd have to check if the resulting string s is of size len(s) < 140 instead of len(s) < = 140 since the description states that the final (aka with hashtag) string is of length smaller or equal to 140 characters.

Because adding an additional variable to store the final result in would require an additional line.

this is hard
