--description--

As you can see, the + sign is missing from the output. The number sign is displayed by default only if negative. To change this behavior, you can write a colon after the expression to be evaluated within the curly braces of your f-string, and specify the option +. This will allow you to display the sign both for positive and negative numbers.

Modify the string in your two conditional clauses by adding :+ inside the curly braces after coefficient.

--hints--

You should modify the string to append to the terms list within your if statement into f'{coefficient:+}'.

js
({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).find_class("Equation").find_function("__str__").find_for_loops()[0].find_ifs()[1].find_bodies()[0].is_equivalent("terms.append(f'{coefficient:+}')")`)) })

You should modify the string to insert into the terms list within your elif clause into f'{coefficient:+}x'.

js
({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).find_class("Equation").find_function("__str__").find_for_loops()[0].find_ifs()[1].find_bodies()[1].is_equivalent("terms.append(f'{coefficient:+}x')")`)) })
