Hey, thanks for your help!
I couldn't understand because I didn't see that further down in the code, as Serdar Tumgoren said, the function was called: secretWord = getRandomWord(words) without that line I couldn't get it. Thank you very much, everybody, great explanations. Alan, I have been checking your tutorial too, great job. 2010/7/13 ZUXOXUS <zuxo...@gmail.com> > Hi, > > I am a true beginner in programming, and im learning with > inventwithpython.com. > > There's something I dont understand, and i would really appreciate any > help. > > In chapter 9, the one about the Hangman game, I don't get the block of code > in line 61 > > 59. words = 'ant baboon badger bat bear' > 60. > > 1. def getRandomWord(wordList): > 2. # This function returns a random string from the passed list of > strings. > 3. wordIndex = random.randint(0, len(wordList) - 1) > 4. return wordList[wordIndex] > > > The thing is, the "passed list of strings" is called "words", not > "wordList", so I see it shouldn't work. > > On the other hand, the variable "wordList" is defined nowhere! > > The code is ok, because the program runs ok.
