Countdown with arrows

Print the numbers 3, 2, 1 and the word Go! on one line, separated by " -> ". Tip: print() takes several values and a sep= argument.

Output: 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> Go!

Example

Expected output
3 -> 2 -> 1 -> Go!
Stuck? The idea behind printing

print() shows text on the screen, one line each time it is called. Text goes in quotes; numbers don't need them.

Give print() several values and it puts a space between them. sep= changes what goes between, end= what comes after (a new line, unless you say otherwise).

print("Hello")
print(3, 2, 1, sep=" -> ")
print("Same", end=" ")
print("line")

Watch for: The output must match exactly: a missing space, a capital letter or a full stop makes a test fail. Copy the expected line carefully.
