@vocal geyser yeo

[empty falcon]

what's the problem? what exactly happens? and what would you expect to happen?

[gusty quest]

ok so

for my code its a hangman game. And the main issue is that once you guess the correct letters the code wont print the team

i expect that once you guess all the correct letters it should print th team you guessed

[empty falcon]

ok, what does it print?

ah, I found the problem

[gusty quest]

nothing it just asks to input another letter

[empty falcon]

the thing is, you never update fullword. So, at the end, when you're checking if fullword == selectedteam, you're actually doing something like "_______" == "arsenal", which obviously isn't true. you need to figure out how to update fullword to have the guessed letters filled :)

[gusty quest]

so how would i do that?

[empty falcon]

there's a couple ways. One, you could check where in the selectedteam string you have the guessed letter, and replace those indices in fullword with the letter.

Another way, which I'd use, is a set. Do you know what that is / how to use it?

[gusty quest]

No 😭

[empty falcon]

ok then, maybe leave it for a latter learning, and try the first way I told you

[gusty quest]

ok

[empty falcon]

since your project is for tomorrow

[gusty quest]

ord_as_list = list(fullword)
Decide = [i for i, letter in enumerate(word) if letter == guess1]
print(display_hangman(attempts)) Would I change this part in the code? also how I change the indices in fullword.

if possible could you give me a more simple way to fix it I don't really understand. @empty falcon

[empty falcon]

sorry I had to leave for a while

[empty falcon]

but if you change this part to use fullword instead of Decide, that will start your progress :)

[gusty quest]

fullword = [i for i, letter in enumerate(word) if letter == guess1]
print(display_hangman(attempts))
if attempts == 0:
print("you lose")
print(selectedteam) - what else would I change?

sorry for asking so much btw im kinda lost on how to fix this 😭

sorry to ping but I really need to fix this issue quickly could you help? @vocal geyser

[empty falcon]

yeah ofc no problem, that's normal :) I'm sorry I'm not really helping you though, I'm kinda busy and answering in some pauses

[empty falcon]

print what you have as fullword here and compare to what you want it to be

[gusty quest]

could u give an example code on what that would look like pls
