Is there any other way to make this?

Question

Is there any other THING that i can use instead of the whole out_of_guesses, true, not(out_of_guesses) method.
I wasn't able to digest the method. I'm continuously thinking of some other way.

And what is the THING called (technically)

Answer 1

Theres many ways to do it. But here's a cool one that is very unique to python, using a while/else statement:

while word_count < count_limit:
guess = input(...)
if(guess == secret_word):
print("You win!")
break
word_count += 1
else:
print("You lose.")

Answer 2

In SoloLearn non-web-playgrounds, using input statement in loops could cause errors.

Akhil Padmanabhan, I might be able to support if there particular things you are struggling with

Answer 4

Seb TheS well I know that.. I used jupyter to run it, but I wanted something smaller and simpler instead of out_of_guesses..

Answer 5

Hey.
How about changing to a for loop in range (max_guesses - 1) and break if the guess was right?

Hope that helps. Cheers. C

Answer 6

Sorry, I rushed, but you could use a for loop and a list instead of counter and while loop.

class OutOfGuesses(Exception):
pass

a_l = [None, None, None]

for a in a_l:
if guess_wrong:
continue
elif guess_whole:
break
elif guess_any:
a_l.append(None)
else:
raise OutOfGuesses

print("You guessed the whole word!")

Schindlabua thank you.. It worked like knife over butter.. Well the "while... Else.." is new to me..
Thanks again!!

Answer 8

Seb TheS Is this the entire code? I'm still a noob and classes aren't my specialisation.. How do I define guess_wrong and thus every guess_variable?

Answer 9

ChrA can you type in the code for me please.. It would be more helpful..

Answer 10

That class, I only created an error with a nice name.

Answer 11

Seb TheS can you type in the entire code please.. It would help me to understand it better..
