Question
Example 3.15 Given a list of symbols a1, a2, …, am, a string of these symbols is:
B1. the empty string, denoted by λ, or
B2. any symbol
R. xy, the concatenation of x and y, where x and y are strings.
Since λ represents the empty string, we do not write λ after it has been concatenated with another string. For example, cubsλ = cubs. It shouldn’t be hard to convince yourself that this definition describes any possible “word” in the given symbols.
Refer to Example 3.15. Suppose that the symbols can be compared, so for any i and j with i ≠ j, either ai < aj or aj < ai. Modify the definition so that it defines the set of all strings whose symbols are in increasing order.

Thismodule assumes the english language. Hence, the Finnish panagram'Törkylempijävongahdus' won't pass for a panagram despite being considereda perfect panagram in its language. However, the Swedish panagram'Yxmördaren Julia Blomqvist på fäktning i Schweiz' will pass despiteincluding letters not used in the english alphabet.

However, if word has length less than n, then the None object is returned instead. Hint: Notice that returning the empty string when n is zero might be a special case. You can use an if-elif-else decision structure and the slicing operator [ : ] to solve this problem. For example: Test Result word = "pineapple" n = 5 print(slice_end(word, n)) apple word = "too short" n = 20 print(slice_end(word, n)) None word = "llama" n = 0 print(slice_end(word, n)) word = "Saturn" n = 6 print(slice_end(word, n)) Saturnarrow_forward
