You posted code.  Is what's in the docstring actual output?  If so, what
isn't it doing that you want it to?

If it's not working correctly, what's it doing?  Just saying "I cannot
get this to work" doesn't give us much to go on.  If you want specific
help, be sure to:

1) post actual code
2) explain what you expect it to do
3) post actual output (or traceback)
4) ask a specific question about what you don't understand about item 3.

Even though we know this is schoolwork, I'm OK with offering you a hint
or answering a specific question.
