--description--

Inside the main() function, replace the pass statement, with a call to the convert_to_snake_case() function, passing the string 'aLongAndComplexString' as input.

To display the output, pass the function call as the argument to the print() function.

--hints--

You should call convert_to_snake_case() inside the main() function and pass 'aLongAndComplexString' as input to the function.

js
({
    test: () => {
        const transformedCode = code.replace(/\r/g, "");
        const main = __helpers.python.getDef("\n" + transformedCode, "main");
        const { function_body } = main;

        assert.match(function_body, / +print\s*\(\s*convert_to_snake_case\s*\(\s*("|')aLongAndComplexString\1\s*\)\s*\)/);
    }
})

You should not have pass in your main function.

js
({
    test: () => {
        const commentless_code = __helpers.python.removeComments(code);
        const transformedCode = commentless_code.replace(/\r/g, "");
        const main = __helpers.python.getDef("\n" + transformedCode, "main");
        const { function_body } = main;

        assert.notMatch(function_body, /pass/);
    }
})

            converted_character = '_' + char.lower()
            snake_cased_char_list.append(converted_character)
        else:
