Space Week Day 3: Phone Home

Python
1

today’s challenge on Space Week Day 3: Phone Home. Below is my solution using Python. But I did not get any of the tests. Could there be a bug?

def send_message(route):
    Distance = 0

    for i in range(len(route)):

    Distance += route[i]

    time = (Distance / 300000) + (0.5 * (len(route) - 1))

    formatted = f"{time:.4f}".rstrip('0').rstrip('.')

    return formatted

Your indentation is not correct

3

Indentation issue fixed now. Still not getting the tests.

4

What is your latest code?

Oh, you edited the first post. Note, that is a little confusing for people who like reading posts in linear time.

You still have indentation problems

5

okay. could you point me in the right direction

6

how about this now. I have corrected the indentation.

7

Is that time delay at each satellite correct?

Oh you aren’t returning the required string.

8

I am sure the required string is where the issue is. Could you help with the correct return string

9

Look at the tests cases. They have examples of the exact return values expected.

10

You are returning the output as a string instead of a number. Returning float(formatted) will pass the test cases.

Thanks. All tests cases passed
