The format_address function separates out parts of the address string into new strings: house_number and street_name, and returns: "house number X on street named Y". The format of the input string is: numeric house number, followed by the street name which may contain numbers, but never by themselves, and could be several words long. For example, "123 Main Street", "1001 1st Ave", or "55 North Center Drive". Fill in the gaps to complete this function.

def format_address(address_string):
  # Declare variables
  house_number = ""
  street_name = ""
  # Separate the address string into parts
  address_string = address_string.split()
  # Traverse through the address parts
  for number in address_string:
    # Determine if the address part is the
    # house number or part of the street name
    if number.isdigit():
      house_number = number
  # Does anything else need to be done 
  # before returning the result?
    else:
      street_name += number
      street_name += " "
  # Return the formatted string  
  return "house number {} on street named {}".format(house_number, street_name)

print(format_address("123 Main Street"))
# Should print: "house number 123 on street named Main Street"

print(format_address("1001 1st Ave"))
# Should print: "house number 1001 on street named 1st Ave"

print(format_address("55 North Center Drive"))
# Should print "house number 55 on street named North Center Drive"
