Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.

• Q: What does the function do with the verb parameter?

  • A: The function inserts the verb parameter into a specific sentence and prints it.

• Q: How is the verb parameter incorporated into the sentence?

  • A: The verb is placed in the sentence where <verb> is specified.

• The function madlib() should accept a string parameter verb and print a specific sentence incorporating that verb.

HAPPY CASE
Input: "give up"
Output: I have one power. I never give up. - Batman

Input: "nap"
Output: I have one power. I never nap. - Batman

EDGE CASE
In the case of the madlib() function, there aren’t any traditional edge cases to consider, as the function simply prints a fixed string without any inputs or conditions that could vary the output. 

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Define a function that incorporates the parameter into a formatted string.

1. Define the function `madlib(verb)`.
2. Use an f-string to print the sentence with the verb included.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use the parameter verb in the f-string.
• Not using the correct syntax for f-strings.

Implement the code to solve the algorithm.

def madlib(verb):
    print(f"I have one power. I never {verb}. - Batman")
