I'm trying to append the last character of word to word but am having trouble implementing it. I added the word += word[-1] to do it but its not working. Any thoughts?
def gap(a,b):
return abs(ord(a)-ord(b))
def longestKInterspaceSubstring(word, k):
# Write your code here
temp,max="",""
for i in range(len(word)-1):
temp+=word[i]
if gap(word[i],word[i+1])>k:
max=max if len(max)>len(temp) else temp
temp=""
word += word[-1]
return max```
