--description--

Next, below the nested elif statement, add another if statement that should be executed when forward is True. Inside this conditional, print the following f-string: f'Moving disk {rods[source][-1]} from {source} to {target}'.

--hints--

You should add an if statement to execute when forward is True after the elif block.

js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /^\s{12}if\s+forward(\s*==\s*True)?\s*:/m) })

You should print the provide string inside your new if statement.

js
({ test: () => assert.match(code, /if\s+forward(\s*==\s*True)?\s*:\s+print\s*\(\s*f('|")Moving\sdisk\s\{\s*rods\s*\[\s*source\s*\]\s*\[\s*-\s*1\s*\]\s*\}\sfrom\s\{\s*source\s*\}\sto\s\{\s*target\s*\}\2\s*\)/) })
