7,167 PointsI have checked my code with python 2.7 and works properly. I don't know why doesn't pass the challenge
with:
print(squared(5))
print(squared("2"))
print(squared("tim"))
I get:
25
4
"timtim"
# EXAMPLES
# squared(5) would return 25
# squared("2") would return 4
# squared("tim") would return "timtimtim"
def squared(item):
try:
sq = item*item
except TypeError:
try:
sq = int(item)
except ValueError:
return item+item
else:
return sq+sq
else:
return sq
