However, if the count is 10 or more, then use the word 'many' # instead of the actual count. # So donuts(5) returns 'Number of donuts: 5' # and donuts(23) returns 'Number of donuts: many' def donuts(count): # +++your code here+++ return # B. both_ends # Given a string s, return a string made of the first 2 # and the last 2 chars of the original string, # so 'spring' yields 'spng'.
