Re: [Tutor] 'word jumble' game
The main thing your program lacks is flexibility. Adding new puzzles
requires chaining together a series of if..else statements and creating
variables for each hint.
Here's my quick version. I store the puzzles and the hints in a two-tuple
sequence. Following this method you could easily add additional hints for
each puzzle.
(I changed up the scoring system a bit too...just my spin on it)
import random
# create a series of puzzles to choose from
puzzles = (("python","It's the best programming language for the absolute
beginner ..."),
("jumble","It's what this program does to words to make it
difficult to guess them ..."),
("easy","It's not difficult ..."),
("difficult","It's not easy ..."),
("answer","It's not a question ..."),
("xylophone","It's a musical instrument you have to hit with 2
small sticks ..."))
# pick one word randomly from the sequence
which_puzzle = random.choice(range(len(puzzles)))
correct_word = puzzles[which_puzzle][0]
jumbled_word = list(correct_word)
hint = puzzles[which_puzzle][1]
random.shuffle(jumbled_word)
jumbled_word = ''.join(jumbled_word)
print \
"""
Welcome to Word Jumple!
Unscramble the letters to make a word.
(Press the enter key at the prompt to quit.)
"""
score = 0
while 1:
print "The jumble:", jumbled_word
guess = raw_input("\nYour guess: ")
guess = guess.lower()
if guess == '':
break
if guess != correct_word:
print "Sorry that's not it."
hint_prompt = raw_input("Would you like a hint? Y/N: ")
hint_prompt = hint_prompt.lower()
if hint_prompt.startswith('y'):
print hint+"\n"
score -= 50
if guess == correct_word:
score += 200
print "\nThat's it! You guessed it!\n"
if score == 200:
print "Because you never asked for a hint you get %d points.\n"
% (score)
else:
print "Since you asked for a hint or two you're score is %d
points.\n" % (score)
break
print "\nThanks for playing."

Re: [Tutor] Error in my code
If what you posted is exactly what your code looks like, then you've got
an indentation problem. Since Python doesn't use {}'s for code blocks,
it uses indentation instead, and it's somewhat picky about indentation.
I think all the code after the first conn.request should line up with
the conn.request.
def WEP40_KEY(n):
params = urllib.urlencode({})
headers = {"Connection": "Keep-Alive","Authorization": ""}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(HOST)
conn.request ("GET", "/w_sec.htm HTTP/1.1", params, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
params =
urllib.urlencode({'wsecurity':"WEP",'wep_auth':"Shared+Key",'wepenc':"12
8+bit",'wep_key_no':"key1",'ascii_key1':"12345678901234567890123456",'as

headers = {"Connection": "Keep-Alive","Authorization": ""}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(HOST)
conn.request("POST", "w_sec.htm", params, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
conn.close()
It looks like your indenting 2 spaces. I believe the recommendation is 4
spaces. You might read the style guide.
http://www.python.org/doc/essays/styleguide.html
Out of curiosity, what editor are you using to write your code? You can
configure many editors to automatically indent for you, change tabs to
spaces, and set tabs to 4 spaces.

Reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07-04-17 07:42: >How come it prints on -40 or -70. > >Does -70 come from -70 -> -100? > >This is really confusing me. I don't really understand your question, the definition of range range(...) range([start,] stop[, step]) -> list of integers Return a list containing an arithmetic progression of integers. range(i, j) returns [i, i+1, i+2, ..., j-1]; start (!) defaults to 0. When step is given, it specifies the increment (or decrement). For example, range(4) returns [0, 1, 2, 3]. The end point is omitted! These are exactly the valid indices for a list of 4 elements. So you are basically telling python to start from -10, and then subtract -30 until it reaches -100. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Notice that low and high are the same.

This picks from the range low <= number < high. Since low == high the

In the future, please add what error message you get. That saves us
some type cutting and pasting the code, and running it.
The thing that's wrong with your code is that you try to multiply an
integer with a string. raw_input() returns a string, not an integer.
What you want to do is to convert it to an int first:
temp = raw_input("Insert a temperature to convert.\n")
temp_int = int(temp)
Also, print cannot mix ints and strings using string concatenation
(+). What you want to do is to use string formats.
So, the final code would be something like this:
temp = raw_input("Insert a temperature to convert.\n")
temp_int = int(temp)
type = raw_input("Now choose a convertion: Celcius(c) or Farenheit(f)")
if type == "c":
cel = (5/9)*(temp_int-32)
print "Farhrenheit %d is equal to %d celcius.\n" % (temp_int, cel)
elif type == "f":
far = (9/5)*(temp+32)
print "Farhrenheit %d is equal to %d celcius.\n" % (temp_int, far)
else:
print "Unknown Syntax!\n";
raw_input("\nPress enter to close program")

'/' defaults to integer division if both sides are integers as well. What you'd want to do is 5.0/9 or 5/9.0 or 5.0/9.0 or just 0.5 same applies to your 9/5 below. >print "Farhrenheit %d is equal to %d celcius.\n" % (temp_int, cel) > elif type == "f": >far = (9/5)*(temp+32) ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
