class AnagramTests(unittest.TestCase): def test_in_anagrams(self): actuals = get_anagrams('treehouse')
for item in actuals:
self.assertIn('house', item)
What have I done wrong?
import unittest
from string_fun import get_anagrams
class AnagramTests(unittest.TestCase):
def test_in_anagrams(self):
actuals = get_anagrams('treehouse')
for item in actuals:
self.assertIn('house', item)
import itertools
def is_palindrome(yarn):
"""Return whether or not a string is a palindrome.
A palindrome is a word/phrase that's the same in
both directions.

return yarn == yarn[::-1]
def get_anagrams(*yarn):
"""Return a list of anagrams for a string."""
# If only one letter came in, return it

if len(yarn[0]) <= 1:
return list(yarn)
else:
raise ValueError("Must provide at least two letters")
# Get all of the words from the dictionary

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsThe grader seems picky and wants to see the assertIn
on the same line as the function call:
import unittest
from string_fun import get_anagrams
class AnagramTests(unittest.TestCase):
def test_in_anagrams(self):
self.assertIn('house', get_anagrams('treehouse'))
Note assertIn
will check one item. By looping through the actuals, then the first non-match will cause a test failure. Better to let it check the entire container on one pass.
