Arithmetic Formatter - Python

I have been through the ‘Scientific Computing with Python Certificate’ courses and have gotten to the ‘Arithmetic Formatter’ challenge at the end and I just have no idea where I would start, I’ve read other peoples codes on the forums and I don’t seem to understand any of it even after spending a few days doing the courses and lessons.

Its starting to really frustrate me as I want to be able to code but I do the courses with the walkthroughs and do fine in them and then it comes to being on my own and I just sit and stare blankly at the screen :frowning:

Any help would be appreciated.

You’re not alone, this is a pretty common experience.

My advice is to start VERY small and build from there. It’s easier to build once you have some code on the screen.

What’s the first step of the function you are building? To take some arguments and perform a calculation and return the answer?

Then change it to take multiple problems and loop through them.
