I have a hangman assignemnt for homework and im unsure how to make the letters display themseleves when they are guessed....

here is my code..

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/Y2QQ

its not printing "Hi"

[fierce glade]

!e ```py
current_phrase = "this is the current phrase."
print(current_phrase)
current_phrase[0].capitalize()
print(current_phrase)

[wet raptor]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | this is the current phrase.
002 | this is the current phrase.

Python strings are immutable so if you want to change it you'll have to assign the new string to the variable name

also that just capitalizes the substring located at current_phrase[0]. Do you want to capitalize the entire word?

[ebon crystal]

oh i guess so, cuz i capitalized "letter", im going to change it to upper

still doesnt print hi... letter should be in currentPhrase???

[ebon crystal]

  letter = letter.upper()
  if letter in currentPhrase:
      print("Hi")``` still doesnt work this way....

[fierce glade]

What does "doesn't work" mean? print out both of those things and make sure they are the same letter

also currentPhrase[0].capitalize() just capitalizes and returns that letter

[ebon crystal]

i switched out the capitalize with upper():

[fierce glade]

you're still operating on the substring located at that index

!e ```py
s = "this is a string"
s = s[0].upper()
print(s)

[fierce glade]

I have to step away now.

[ebon crystal]

but its a list not a variable? the index 0 is the whole phrase??

ok, thanks anyways

[fierce glade]

no it's the letter at that index

you're using currentPhrase not phrases

[ebon crystal]

Ooooooh

yeah ur right...

[fierce glade]

👍

someone else might be by, good luck
