--description--

Given two integers, the par for a golf hole and the number of strokes a golfer took on that hole, return the golfer's score using golf terms.

Return:

  • "Hole in one!" if it took one stroke.
  • "Eagle" if it took two strokes less than par.
  • "Birdie" if it took one stroke less than par.
  • "Par" if it took the same number of strokes as par.
  • "Bogey" if it took one stroke more than par.
  • "Double bogey" if took two strokes more than par.

--hints--

golf_score(3, 3) should return "Par".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(golf_score(3, 3), "Par")`)
}})

golf_score(4, 3) should return "Birdie".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(golf_score(4, 3), "Birdie")`)
}})

golf_score(3, 1) should return "Hole in one!".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(golf_score(3, 1), "Hole in one!")`)
}})

golf_score(5, 7) should return "Double bogey".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(golf_score(5, 7), "Double bogey")`)
}})

golf_score(4, 5) should return "Bogey".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(golf_score(4, 5), "Bogey")`)
}})

golf_score(5, 3) should return "Eagle".

js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(golf_score(5, 3), "Eagle")`)
}})
