Last update on June 12 2025 12:41:53 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Wrap word(s) in HTML tags.

Write a Python function to create an HTML string with tags around the word(s).
Sample function and result :
add_tags('i', 'Python') -> '<i>Python</i>'
add_tags('b', 'Python Tutorial') -> '<b>Python Tutorial </b>'

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a function named add_tags that takes two arguments, 'tag' and 'word'.
def add_tags(tag, word):
    # Use string formatting to create and return a new string with the provided 'tag' enclosing the 'word'.
    return "<%s>%s</%s>" % (tag, word, tag)

# Call the add_tags function with the tag 'i' and the word 'Python' and print the result.
print(add_tags('i', 'Python'))

# Call the add_tags function with the tag 'b' and the word 'Python Tutorial' and print the result.
print(add_tags('b', 'Python Tutorial'))

Sample Output:

<i>Python</i>
