Question

Hi all:
Here is a working code for ps3a
http://dpaste.com/hold/526101/

The code is working just fine, but I think the while loop may have some issue where in its going through more loop than necessary.
Can someone look at this code and comment ?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Notice that the condition on line 9 "location + len(key)" will break your program if the strings overlap:
try with target = 'aaaaa' and key = 'aa'

Answer 2

Interesting point, I have updated my code but did not think about this. So would this constitute 4 instances or 2 instances?

Answer 3
