Google kickstart 2020 round A wrong answer

link to problem : https://codingcompetitions.withgoogle.com/kickstart/round/000000000019ffc7/00000000001d3f56

Problem There are N houses for sale. The i-th house costs Ai dollars to buy. You have a budget of B dollars to spend. What is the maximum number of houses you can buy?

Input The first line of the input gives the number of test cases, T. T test cases follow. Each test case begins with a single line containing the two integers N and B. The second line contains N integers. The i-th integer is Ai, the cost of the i-th house.

Output For each test case, output one line containing Case #x: y, where x is the test case number (starting from 1) and y is the maximum number of houses you can buy.

In Sample Case #1, you have a budget of 100 dollars. You can buy the 1st and 3rd houses for 20 + 40 = 60 dollars. In Sample Case #2, you have a budget of 50 dollars. You can buy the 1st, 3rd and 4th houses for 30 + 10 + 10 = 50 dollars. In Sample Case #3, you have a budget of 300 dollars. You cannot buy any houses (so the answer is 0).

Here is my solution(Python 3):

I have tried all the test cases I can think of and I’m getting the expected output. But when I try to submit, it says Sample Failed: wrong answer. Please let me know what exactly is wrong with my solution and how it can be improved.

Answer

I would suggest to simplify your code just a little and to be sure use string formatting. If it is python 3.6 and up you can use f-string or use string.format
