[Tutor] Python Programming
To whom it may concern,
My name is Jake and I have recently started the GCSE computing course with
school. As summer holidays homework we have been asked to make a game. So I
have made a Capital Cities Quiz. When I run my program this part of my coding
does not seem to work:
answera = input()
if answera == ["Oslo" or "oslo"]:
print ("CORRECT!!")
score = score + 1
else:
print("INCORRECT!!")
When I type Oslo or oslo as my answer it keeps telling me that it is incorrect.
I was wondering if it would be possible for you to tell me what I have done
wrong and hopefully point me in the right direction.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Jake

[Tutor] newbie needs help with rpg code in python
Hey everyone :)
I'm extremely new to programming as python is the first language I have
attempted to learn (and I only started yesterday!)
I decided to start learning by attempting to create a short textbased rpg.
My progress so far has been rather haphazard to say the least, but I think I
might be finally getting somewhere with this.
Below is my code as it currently exists:
#Character stats (lv 1)
max_c_hp = 180max_c_mp = 30c_strength = 50c_defence = 25c_agility =
50c_fireball = 60c_heal = 100
#Skeleton stats (lv1)
max_e_hp = 230max_e_mp = 30e_strength = 48e_defence = 30e_agility =
50e_fireball = 75
#Battle functions
def battle_start(): #Allows player to choose to fight or runprint 'A
skeleton appears from the shadows!'fight_or_run = int(raw_input ('Do you
fight[1] or run[2]?'))if fight_or_run == 1:print 'You engage the
enemy.'battle_menu() #Sends player to battle menuelif fight_or_run
== 2:escape()
def battle_menu(): #Allows player to choose primary action in battleprint
'Attack[1]'print 'Magic[2]'print 'Escape[3]'menu_selection =
int(raw_input ('Enter your choice.'))if menu_selection == 1:
c_attack()elif menu_selection == 2:c_m_attack()elif
menu_selection == 3:escape()
def c_attack(): #Processes damage dealt by a physical attackdamage_to_enemy
= c_strength - e_defence print 'You inflicted', damage_to_enemy, "points of
damage to your enemy" #shows damage dealttemp_e_hp - damage_to_enemy
#!!!attempts to deduct damage_to_enemy from temp_e_hp!!!print temp_e_hp
if temp_e_hp == 0:victory()else:battle_menu()
def escape(): #Allows player to escape from a battleprint 'You attempt to
flee the battle!'if c_agility > e_agility:print 'You succssfully
escape' #!!!Need to quit battle and return to field!!!elif c_agility <
e_agility:print 'You fail to escape and miss a battle turn.' #!!!Need
to find a way to miss a turn after tb system written!!!battle_menu()
elif c_agility == e_agility:print 'You fail to escape and are forced to
contine engaging the enemy.'battle_menu() #Sends player to battle menu
#Battle flowtemp_c_hp = max_c_hp # creates a temporary stat for characters hp,
just to be used in this battletemp_e_hp = max_e_hp #creates a temporary stat
for enemies hp, just to be used in this battlebattle_start() # launches battle
sequence
As you can see, I've annotated it rather thoroughly to display the (simple)
processes being performed and there are several issues slowing my progress.
The main one I need help with is in the c_attack function. For some reason, I
cant manage to subtract damage_to_enemy from temp_e_hp. Any help with my
script (especially with this problem) would be highly appreciated.
And for one final question, is there a way to use random percentages of a
number. For example, to subtract 80 - 120 % of damage_to_enemy from temp_e_hp?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm totally stumped at the moment.
Thanks for your time
-Jake

[Tutor] Alice_in_wonderland Question
Hi,
So I'm doing a problem on the Alice_in_wonderland.txt where I have to write
a program that reads a piece of text from a file specified by the user,
counts the number of occurrences of each word, and writes a sorted list of
words and their counts to an output file. The list of words should be
sorted based on the counts, so that the most popular words appear at the
top. Words with the same counts should be sorted alphabetically.
My code right now is
word_count = {}
file = open ('alice_in_wonderland.txt', 'r')
full_text = file.read().replace('--',' ')
full_text_words = full_text.split()
for words in full_text_words:
stripped_words = words.strip(".,!?'`\"- ();:")
try:
word_count[stripped_words] += 1
except KeyError:
word_count[stripped_words] = 1
ordered_keys = word_count.keys()
sorted(ordered_keys)
print ("All the words and their frequency in", 'alice in wonderland')
for k in ordered_keys:
print (k, word_count[k])
The Output here is just all of the words in the document NOT SORTED by
amount of occurrence.
I need help sorting this output of words in the Alice_in_wonderland.txt, as
well as help asking the user for the input information about the files.
If anyone could give me some guidance you will really be helping me out.
Please and Thank you

Re: [Tutor] Alice_in_wonderland Question
Hi,
I finally got it.
This was the code:
for k in sorted(word_count, key=lambda x:word_count[x], reverse=True):
print (k, word_count[k])
The only question i have now is how to limit the amount of returns the
program runs to the first 15 results.

Re: [Tutor] Alice_in_wonderland Question
To figure that last part out I just did a simple if statement.
for k in sorted(word_count, key=lambda x:word_count[x], reverse=True):
if word_count[k] >=300:
print (k, word_count[k])
And the output was correct.
I did have one more question though.
import os
from wordtools import extract_words
source_filepath=input("Enter the path to the source file:")
dest_filepath =input("Enter the path to the destination file:")
sourcef=open(source_filepath, 'r')
destf=open(dest_filepath, 'w')
for line in sourcef:
destf.write(line)
file=input ("Would you like to process another file?(Y/N):")
if file== "Y":
source_filepath=input("Enter the path to the source file:")
dest_filepath =input("Enter the path to the destination file:")
else:
This code asks the user for a source/dest_filepath.
I'm wondering how I can make it so the program can tell if the
source/dest_filepath the user entered is actually a program on the computer.
Also i have to ask the user if they would like to "process another
file(Y/N)?" and I'm not sure where to put that.
