Wrap Text Into Lines

MediumPython25 min20 XP

Problem

Given text and max_width, return lines where words stay in order and no line exceeds max_width.

Why This Matters

Text wrapping is a practical greedy problem that trains careful length accounting.

Function Signature

def wrap_text(text, max_width):

Examples

Example 1

Inputtext = "python makes clean code", max_width = 12

Output["python makes", "clean code"]

Adding "clean" to the first line would exceed width 12.

Constraints

Return the exact requested value.
Handle edge cases cleanly.
Prefer readable Python before micro-optimizing.

def wrap_text(text, max_width):
    """
    Input example: text = "python makes clean code", max_width = 12
    Return: ["python makes", "clean code"]
    Return the value from the function so the tests can compare it. Do not print unless the prompt asks.
    """
    # write your code here
    return []
