Integer series
Write a function that receives a number \(N\) as a parameter and generates a string with the numbers: \(1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... , 1, 2, 3, ... , N\)
Examples of test cases that you can automate with pytest are:
| testcase number | input (\(N\)) | expected output |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | “1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4” |
| 2 | 1 | “1” |
| 3 | 0 | ”” |
| 4 | -3 | “-1, -1, -2, -1, -2, -3” |
Insist that the students test their programs by giving them a table
of test cases.
