-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
