SMH calculating max() three times for the same values is not according to the DRY programming principle

I like hou you got here my dud

you haven't seen mine

This helped a lot. Thanks. Haha

slightly different but same idea

TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable ???

Makes my code looks like spaguetti

wut did I just read

Could you elaborate on what the lambda function does in your solution exactly?

This is the only right way to solve the problem. Nice job!

I brute forced it

very cool

This code doesn't work in all cases. I copied it and pasted it to VS Code and tried it with a test polynomial I made up.

poly = '2ac+8ca+9poy-21opy'

The answer should be 10ac-12opy but it returns 0ac-2opy.

The problem has to do with replacing the 1 with an empty string in the return line.
