Your mission

Implement mask_middle, which keeps the first and last keep characters of text and hides everything between them behind *.

See it in action

mask_middle("bluebird", 2)

'bl****rd'

mask_middle("on the go", 1)

'o*******o'

mask_middle("owl", 2)

'owl'

Your checklist

• text is any string, possibly empty. keep is an int, 0 or more.
• The first keep characters and the last keep characters of text keep their place and value.
• Every other character is replaced by *, so the result has the same length as text.
• When the first keep and the last keep characters together cover all of text, return text unchanged.
