def getGuessedWord(secretWord, lettersGuessed):
secretWord_copy = ""
for i in secretWord:
print(i)
secretWord_copy = secretWord.replace(i," _ ")
print(secretWord_copy)
secretWord = 'apple'
I'm trying to replace every character of secretWord with "-" but the above code only replaces the last one:
appl _
What's wrong?
The result should be _ _ _ _ _ _
You're always replacing secretWord without modifying it.
def getGuessedWord(secretWord, lettersGuessed):
secretWord_copy = ""
for i in secretWord:
print(i)
secretWord_copy = secretWord.replace(i," _ ")
secretWord = secretWord_copy
print(secretWord_copy)
secretWord = 'apple'
Without changing secretWord :
def getGuessedWord(secretWord, lettersGuessed):
secretWord_copy = secretWord
for i in secretWord:
print(i)
secretWord_copy = secretWord_copy.replace(i,"_")
print(secretWord_copy)
print(secretWord)
secretWord = 'apple'
I'm sorry for the question, but what would the second parameter (lettersGuessed) of the getGuessedWord function look like? Because from what I'm seeing she's not being used. And from what I understood from the function, just do the following to get the same result:
def getGuessedWord(secretWord):
print (len (secretWord) * ' _ ')
