title: "Challenge 229: Truncate the Text 2"
challengeType: 29
dashedName: challenge-229
---
# --description--
Given a string, return a new string that is truncated so that the total width of the characters does not exceed 50 units.
Each character has a specific width:
| Letters | Width |
| - | - |
| `"ilI"` | 1 |
| `"fjrt"` | 2 |
| `"abcdeghkmnopqrstuvwxyzJL"` | 3 |
| `"ABCDEFGHKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"` | 4 |
The table above includes all upper and lower case letters. Additionally:
- Spaces (`" "`) have a width of 2
- Periods (`"."`) have a width of 1
- If the given string is 50 units or less, return the string as-is, otherwise
- Truncate the string and add three periods at the end (`"..."`) so its total width, including the three periods, is as close as possible to 50 units without going over.
# --hints--
`truncate_text("The quick brown fox")` should return `"The quick brown f..."`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(truncate_text("The quick brown fox"), "The quick brown f...")`)
}})
```
`truncate_text("The silky smooth sloth")` should return `"The silky smooth s..."`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(truncate_text("The silky smooth sloth"), "The silky smooth s...")`)
}})
```
`truncate_text("THE LOUD BRIGHT BIRD")` should return `"THE LOUD BRIG..."`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(truncate_text("THE LOUD BRIGHT BIRD"), "THE LOUD BRIG...")`)
}})
```
`truncate_text("The fast striped zebra")` should return `"The fast striped z..."`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(truncate_text("The fast striped zebra"), "The fast striped z...")`)
}})
```
`truncate_text("The big black bear")` should return `"The big black bear"`.
```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(truncate_text("The big black bear"), "The big black bear")`)
}})
```
