--description--

Given a string, return "digits" if the string has more digits than letters, "letters" if it has more letters than digits, and "tie" if it has the same amount of digits and letters.

  • Digits consist of 0-9.
  • Letters consist of a-z in upper or lower case.
  • Ignore any other characters.

--hints--

digits_or_letters("abc123") should return "tie".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(digits_or_letters("abc123"), "tie")`)
}})

digits_or_letters("a1b2c3d") should return "letters".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(digits_or_letters("a1b2c3d"), "letters")`)
}})

digits_or_letters("1a2b3c4") should return "digits".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(digits_or_letters("1a2b3c4"), "digits")`)
}})

digits_or_letters("abc123!@#DEF") should return "letters".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(digits_or_letters("abc123!@#DEF"), "letters")`)
}})

digits_or_letters("H3110 W0R1D") should return "digits".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(digits_or_letters("H3110 W0R1D"), "digits")`)
}})

digits_or_letters("P455W0RD") should return "tie".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(digits_or_letters("P455W0RD"), "tie")`)
}})
