19,870 PointsPretty close, double check what's happening with your enumerate()
Try testing with below:
# test1
print(combo([1, 2, 3, 2, 3], 'abdec'))
# test2
print(combo(['x', 2, 3, 2, 3], 'abdec'))
# your incorrect actual output
# output 1
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'd'), (4, 'e'), (5, 'c')]
# output 2
File "Path stuff...", line number, in combo
for index, item in enumerate(iterable_2, start=iterable_1[0]):
TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
# desired output
# output 1
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'd'), (2, 'e'), (3, 'c')]
# output2
[('x', 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'd'), (2, 'e'), (3, 'c')]
Does that point out your bug?
