Coding challenge done with Karat (a 3rd party interviewing company).
Write a function to output fully justified text. The output must be an array of lines, and each line must have length equal to "lineLength" parameter - except if it's just one word. See Examples:
# Example 1 input
text = [ "Some modern typesetting programs",
"offer four justification",
"options" ]
lineLength = 24
# Your function, justify(text, lineLength)
# should return:
[ "Some modern typesetting",
"programs offer four",
"justification options" ]Within the same line, the amount of spaces between words should differ by no more than 1 space:
Not Allowed: "the quick brown fox"
Allowed: "the quick brown fox"Example 2:
# input
text = [ "The Earth is",
"the only world",
"known so far",
"to harbor life" ]
lineLength = 18
# Return:
[ "The Earth is the",
"only world known",
"so far to harbor",
"life" ]Example 3:
# input
text = [ "It underscores our responsibility",
"to deal more kindly with one another" ]
lineLength = 15
# Return:
[ "It underscores",
"our",
"responsibility",
"to deal more",
"kindly with one",
"another" ]This problem is similar to, but not exactly the same as the problem https://leetcode.com/problems/text-justification/
