--description--

Get rid of the commented lines of code inside the convert_to_snake_case() function to clean up the function definition.

--hints--

You should not have any commented line of code in the convert_to_snake_case() function at all.

js
({
    test: () => {
        const transformedCode = code.replace(/\r/g, "");
        const convert_to_snake_case = __helpers.python.getDef("\n" + transformedCode, "convert_to_snake_case");
        const { function_body } = convert_to_snake_case;
        
        assert.equal(function_body.split("#").length - 1, 0);
    }
})
