-String slicing in Python with Project (The Hangman game) -

 String Slicing: 

Obtaining a sub-string from the given string. Suppose,

 str1 =”HANGMAN"






Let's understand string slicing with a project- The Hangman game
 

Rules of the game :

1. We should guess a word and present the player with blank lines. (dash) For ex if the word is ‘Plant’, the player will be presented with _ _ _ _ _

 2. The player should guess a letter in the word. 

3. If the letter is present a. Fill the appropriate blank space 

4. If the letter is not present, the player will lose 1 chance from a total of 7 chances. 

5. Step 2,3,4 should continue until the player is left with 0 chances or till the time player guesses the correct word. 

Note: Currently, the game is developed with no. of chances as 7. 

Algorithm :

1. Initialize the word, total chances and the word to be guessed 

2. Repeat till the time chances are exhausted

        a. Get the letter from the user

        b. if the letter is in the word Student replies Let the student reply Let the student reply (10 mins)

                  i. Go through the entire word and replace the dash with the occurrence of the letter

                  ii. If the word is guessed completely 

                                1. Print the success message

                                2. Exit the game

        c. If the letter is not in the word 

                   i. Decrement chance count

                   ii. print the no. of chances left 

3. When out of the loop since chances are exhausted a. print the failure message

- Object Oriented Programming -

In OOP, we can represent an entity using a class.  A class bundles data (features/properties of entity - color, height, width) and functionality (movement, expression) together.  An instance of a class is known as an object.  Which is the only cartoon series that had predicted that Trump would be elected as the president of the USA and also predicted the coronavirus spread?   Answer: Simpsons.  Simpsons is a very popular animated show. You can build something similar with python.  But have you ever wondered, how Simpsons look the same in all the series? Only his movement looking and, expression change but his main features like color, height, and face look exactly the same all the time.  This is because we create a ‘blueprint’ of Simpsons and whenever we have to simulate him on screen we use this blueprint. This keeps a record of all the features of Simpsons and recreates it whenever we want.  This is where Object-Oriented Programming(OOP) h...

– Sequences, Algorithms and Programs in Python ---

 Before moving forward, Let's learn how to install Python software in your System which is very important for the further understanding of these topics. Imagine, you are a regular customer of Uncle Sam’s Pizza restaurant, can you help Uncle Sam prepare the menu and take a printout of it? Which application will you use for that? You will type the menu using MS word and then take a printout of it. right?  So, you know that we can use MS Word to create documents. Similarly, if you want to write a python program, you need an IDE (Integrated development environment). This IDE helps you to write a python program and then run it so that you can see the result/output of the program.  Steps to install python/IDE in your local system. (Windows /MAC )   Note : Prerequisite for installing python in Windows- Windows 8 or above. go to this website .   1. Click on download python as per your OS. Mac users may download the Mac version. Windows users download depending on 32-bit...

-List Slicing in Python-

 List Slicing : Slicing helps in creating a new list from an existing list.  Syntax list_name [start :end:step] Suppose you have a list of Avengers, arranged in the order of your preference.   avengers=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”,”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”,”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”] Later you decide to split them into a separate list like  favourite=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”]                                                   less_favourite =[”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”]                             least_favourite=[”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”]  Now, we have 3 lists formed from the main list. Would you want to create these lists again from the beginning? This is where list slicing helps us. Here is the code to  G...
