"It is a period of civil war. Rebel programs, striking from a hidden computer, have won their first victory against the evil System Tests."

You might be aware that the events of the Star Wars saga took place a long time ago, in a galaxy that was rather far away. But just how far away was it? We can try to describe it by repeating the word far a certain number of times in the following sentence format:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

In the above example, the word far is repeated twice. However, we'd instead like to repeat it exactly N (1 \le N \le 5) times without changing the rest of the sentence at all. There should be a comma right after each occurrence except for the last one.

Given N, can you produce the correct sentence?

Input Specification

The input consists of a single integer N.

Output Specification

Output on a single line the appropriate sentence with far repeated N times. It must match the correct answer exactly!

Sample Input 1

1

Sample Output 1

A long time ago in a galaxy far away...

Sample Input 2

4

Sample Output 2

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, far, far away...

    word1 = 'a long time ago in a galaxy '
words2 = 'far,'
words3 = ' away...'

N = int(input())
K = N * (1 <= N <= 5)

if(K == K):
    print(words1, (words2 * K).strip(","), words3)

    N=int(input())
words="far,"
for i in range(0,N-3):
    words=words+("far,")
print('A long time ago in a galaxy far '+words+"far away...")

    My code always outputs 3 far values when the N value input is less than 3. Can someone help me see where the problem lies

    This worked in my testing but isn't working in the judge, can someone help me figure out where I'm going wrong?

    N = int(input())

print('A long time ago in a galaxy ' + str('far, '*(N-1)) + 'far away')

      Never mind, the issue was that I forgot to add the "..." at the end of the sentence so it was counting it as incorrect.
