sentence = "Test  This is a test   Testing "
sentence2 = replace_spaces(sentence, "_")
print(sentence2)

Ouput:

Test__This_is_a_test__Testing_

Challenge 2

In pb2.py, implement a function that given a list of numbers (positive or negative integers), it will return a list containing the indices of the two highest values. Order of the returned indices does not matter.

Usage

print(two_indices([4, 7, 2, 8, 10, 9]))

Output:

[4, 5]

Challenge 3

In pb3.py, implement a function that takes a dictionary of student names and their ages as input and returns the name of the youngest student.

students1 = {"Alice": 18, "Bob": 20, "Charlie": 19, "David": 22, "Jay": 20}
youngest_student(students1)

Output #1:

Alice

Usage #2:

students2 = {"Alice": 19, "Bob": 15, "Charlie": 29, "David": 32, "Jay": 20}
youngest_student(students2)

Output #2:

Bob
