Could someone hop on a call for some quick help implementing instruction for a method in a class. It's for a Coursera lab that I have been struggling on.

I asked for help a few days ago, but when nobody responded, I gave up on it.

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

oh ok

#

will screenshots of the assignment do?

drowsy spoke
#

Sure

#

but any code should be a codeblock or paste link

abstract sierra
#

i tried that before, where I copied the code onto a vs code file and tried sharing, but it seems this server does not allow that

drowsy spoke
#

you can't upload files here

#

!paste

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

but you can paste your code into a paste link and share the link

These are the instructions

and what have you done so far?

abstract sierra
#

i pasted the code, but idk where to get this link for the code i just pasted

#

will that do?

#

I only wrote whats so far the Letter and Bot classes. The game engine and tests were already provided and it is instructed to not change them whatsoever.

#

im just confused on what exactly it wants me to write for the record_guess_results method in the bot class. hence why ive left it empty

drowsy spoke
#

yeah it's honestly not very clear 🥴

abstract sierra
#

yea. my fathers a principal architect and though he only know Java, even he spent almost 2hrs explaining/doing and couldn't seem to get it lol

#

which really says something about this assignment

drowsy spoke
#

this is coming from someone who coded their own wordle guesser, haha

abstract sierra
#

so.... what do you think is the next step?

#

tbh im lowkey lost

#

and i wanna finish this certification before friday. I need it for show

drowsy spoke
#

it's unclear about what method they want responsible for what. I'd have the bot keep track of its own guesses rather than it being stored on the GameEngine

abstract sierra
#

my thoughts too

#

and since they have it already in the GameEngine, it begs the question of why theyre instructing us as if to rewrite all of it again in the bot class?

drowsy spoke
#

otherwise, the bot could also receive the GameEngine instance as its own attribute

#

that way it can access the words that had already been guessed

abstract sierra
#

right. and there seems to be no instructions to inherit Game Engine into bot, which is why I haven't done so

drowsy spoke
#

Can you reach out to your teacher for clarification?

abstract sierra
#

well its just an online asynchronous certification. I don't really think there is anyone I could contact regarding this

drowsy spoke
#

oh

abstract sierra
#

since it is just offered by Coursera and all. and the course was created years ago im assuming by the video quality

drowsy spoke
#

are you able to see all the tests that will get run?

#

that might give you some insight into what they expect

abstract sierra
#

yes I can share you some ss. give me a sec

#

i skipped the game engine code since youve already seen it

drowsy spoke
#

I would use these as hints as to what it expects from your methods

#

but yes, overall I still agree, it's not really clear

abstract sierra
#

they have a forum that i knew of before, but im reading it more closely now. the staff is vague and quite unhelpful imo. but you can make an opinion yourself

drowsy spoke
#

that's not really more clear, but what I'd do is start writing something.Start filling in some of the logic you know you'll need, and you can shift things around as necessary

abstract sierra
#

okay

#

ill try ig

#

been trying for almost 2 weeks now🥲
