Outward-inward postcode formatter: forbidden letters checked in the wrong positions · case 04
"ZX3 9AV" passes because only the first inward letter is tested.
Case contract
Remove all whitespace and uppercase. Length must be 5..7. The inward code is the last three characters: digit, letter, letter, where neither letter may be one of C I K M O V. The outward code is the rest: alphanumeric, starting with a letter and containing at least one digit. Return "OUTWARD INWARD" or None.
Why this case matters
Codes whose outward part varies in length must be split from the right; mis-splitting sends deliveries to the wrong sorting district.
One recorded failure
