Answer 1

Answer:

def counter(start, stop):

x = start

if x>stop:

 return_string = "Counting down: "

 while x >= stop:

  return_string += str(x)

  if x>stop :

   return_string += ","

  x=x-1

else:

 return_string = "Counting up: "

 while x <= stop:

  return_string += str(x)

  if x<stop:

   return_string += ","

  x=x+1

return return_string

Answer 2

Answer:

def counter(start, stop):

   x = start

   if start > stop:

       return_string = "Counting down: "

       while x >= stop:

           return_string += str(x)

           x = x-1

           if start != stop:

               return_string += ","

       print()

   else:

       return_string = "Counting up: "

       while x <= stop:

           return_string += str(x)

           x = x + 1

           if start != stop:

               return_string += ","

       print()

   return return_string
