Was taking the FooBar challenge, and their solution.java stub won't compile. I found this out after I solved the problem with Java on my local.

I'm offering 100fg for Java to Python translation honoring my algorithm. Meanwhile, I'm doing this myself but don't have much prior experience with python.

Java Source (contains problem statement):

retract, was pretty easy conversion

1) If you're doing this to try and get a Google interview, it will not matter... I've never heard of anyone getting an interview after this. Better off submitting a resume.
2) There's no reason to write out the problem in multiple languages... prior to any of your interviews you'll be asked what language you want to use.

#1
I'm just doing these for fun/practice. I've heard of people being contacted by a recruiter after reaching level 4.

#2
Their Java stub would not compile (as original post said), therefore I converted it to python so I could submit in the time window.

Here is the final solution I submitted if anyone is curious:
