There's a builtin function to do that work, also return and not print. Read this for more info

Ok, I know what's wrong now. Thank you for your time!

You're using global vars, they keep their value between tests, are you using those two prints exactly as I posted them? Calling only one at a time will work fine, but calling them one after the other won't.

I don't understand, I'm copying test into my ide and it works. Also, what's the difference between those two examples? I don't see any (not counting different numbers and symnbols), so why one should work, and the other not?

Read this: https://docs.codewars.com/training/troubleshooting#works-but-no a problem with your code is not a kata issue.

Call your functions in your IDE, like they're called here in the tests, one after the other:

print(seven(times(five()))) # this will work
print(four(plus(nine())))   # this will not work

OP solved it, not an issue

I feel the same. I like machine learning, but I don't like trying to figure out what author mean by looking at tests. Sometimes it's just 100% waste of time, since even tests not always don't correspond to the intention of author and looking at the comments in this disscusion it's one of those katas.

So this sounds like we need to create a kata for ourselves... metakata...

If you don't want to use dictionary here, at least use elif instead all of those ifs, because it slows down it a looot

I'd really like to do it, but I have no idea what's a goal :(

Definitely the best solution. Looks clean and easy to use

You should divide your string into 5 partitions but they do not have to be equal in length (especially the case for the last partition). Given the string: "ABCDEFGHI" (of length 9) your partitions would be: ["AB","CD","EF","GH","I"] Hope this helps

I don't know if there is something wrong with me, but I don't get how those groups should be divided. Any easier explanation?
