Replace the order of parametrs of the function

Question

    # STEP 2 - FORMATNAME
    # Format Name -  takes in first and last name and  returns it as Last, First Name

    def format_name(first, last):
        # print("Student: TODO")
        str(last,first)
        return 

def main():
    print(format_name('Bill','Nye'))
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

TypeError: decoding str is not supported

Please help me to solve this problem. I have to replace the order of parametrs of the function.

Answer 1

How about this:

def format_name(first, last):
    return last, first

last, first = format_name('John', 'Snow')
print(f"{last.strip()} {first.strip()}")  # Snow John

function returns two objects, which you can parse into two different variables. Then you can apply strip function on them.
