-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...

-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...

- If structure in Python -

Decision Control Structures: The control structures help in making decisions when a program is being executed.  if Statement  : Depending on certain conditions, few statements are executed.  if-else Statement : D epending on a condition;( if true or false), statements are executed.  Elif : It’s a combination of else followed by if.  We all have made many decisions in life. (Here, decisions do not mean a big decision.)Most of our decisions depend on different conditions..isn’t it? some situations in which you had to make a decision?  ● What to order in a restaurant?  ● What to do in my free time?  ● Which movie to watch?  ● Which subject to take an elective?  ● During exams, which question to attempt first? Depending on where you are going, the dress you select to wear will also change ..isn’t it? So let's try an activity. Select the dress, according to a given condition. 1. If going to a party  2. If going out for playing  3. I...
