found out there should be more which is not covered here, so I was looking for
a book. And then got the journeyman book and started reading it. I am now on
chapter 11. Yet not bored and distracted. The author r
Arup,
Good choice! (thought I recognised the example-problem) The three books
in the "Python Craftsman" series/bundle: "Apprentice", "Journeyman", and
"Master" are a thoroughly recommendable resource. As the titles infer,
they start at a beginner level and become more complex over time. Even

The function is constructing a list of the lines, which it will combine at the

The if statement is saying "I don't have room on my current line for the next
