-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

- For loop in Python -

Loops: Loops are control structures used to repeat a given section of code ● a certain number of times or ● until a particular condition is met. How do we keep ourselves fit nowadays? We must be doing some exercises ..right? The steps followed in doing the exercise are repeated many times ..isn’t it? Depending on the fitness level of the person, he can choose to repeat a step 10,20, or even 100 times. Now suppose, you want to write a program to simulate exercise steps. Is it feasible to write the same steps again and again? Also, how many times does it has to be repeated changes from person to person. Looping structures come to our rescue in such scenarios. Duplicating lines can be eliminated by repeating them a required number of times. ‘ for’ loop ‘for loops’ are used when you have a block of code that you want to repeat a fixed number of times. A series of numbers within a given range. Note : ● A range has 3 parameters -start, end, ste...

-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...

- 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...
