Hello
Im doing a simple text based hangman game and I was woundering if there is
A command for telling the user witch letters in a Word is matching.
So if the Word is: car and user guesses: cat
I would like to tell the user that the c and a is right But not the t
Greatful for any help
There is probably something more clever in Python, but here's the simple way:
word = 'cat'
guess = 'car'
match = ''
for index in range(len(word)):
match += word[index] if word[index] == guess[index] else '*'
print(match)
There's many examples of hangman in Python available, just Google it.
Thanks!!! gonna try it
`print(''.join(x for x in guess if x in word))
it worked. However if the word is too short or too long it will create a "string index out of range error" I have tried to fix it but no luck
This is the where the error is produced:
match += word[index] if word[index] == guess[index] else '*'
Greatful for any help
If I use:
If len(guess) > len(word):
Print("Too many letters") it works
But not for
If len(guess) < len(word):
Print("Too few letters") it does not work it will produce the sting index out of range error
word = 'catatonic'
guess = 'cat'
def matching_letters(word, guess):
return ''.join(c if i < len(guess) and c == guess[i] else '*'
for i, c in enumerate(word))
print(matching_letters(word, guess))
print(matching_letters(guess, word))
Of course this does not happen in real hangman because you give the user the correct number of blanks.
Thx
Gonna try it in my code
Really appriciate it
