Re: Replace blanks with letter
I wanted the program to stop only after all the letters were typed; why in the world would I try to write a program with blanks for each letter that seem intended to be filled, only to have it stop if the last letter is typed, or have to type each letter so many times until its processed? If you ran the code, my problems, as well as the intended goal, should become obvious. Also, why wouldn't someone who's willing to help me not run the code (takes a few seconds btw) I'm having trouble with in order to diagnose its faults, yet you have the time to write how you won't run it? If I did have a teacher to help me, this would be the last place I'd come to for help. It should be easy to deduce what I intended this program to do. Please no one respond being as I am done here, I just had to vent, but instead report it if you want. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Replace blanks with letter
Thanks. I am running into a bunch of problems with the following code, all of
which are clear when running the program
import random
letters='abcdefg'
blanks='_'*len(letters)
print('type letters from a to g')
print(blanks)
for i in range(len(letters)):
if letters[i] in input():
blanks = blanks[:i] + letters[i] + blanks[i+1:]
print(blanks)
If anyone could post an example of how to correctly code this, I would
appreciate it. I can't seem to figure it out.
I'll definitely heed Fabio's advice for future reference, but I don't think
it's related to the problems I'm currently experiencing. If it is, and I'm just
not getting it (most likely the case), please post an example of how to
implement his code advice in doing what I wish to accomplish here.

Replace blanks with letter
I'm trying to replace the blank(_) with the letter typed in by the user, in the
appropriate blank(_) spot where the letter should be (where is in the letters
list).
letters='abcdefg'
blanks='_ '*len(letters)
print('type letter from a to g')
print(blanks)
input1=input()
for i in range(len(letters)):

What am I doing wrong in this code?

Re: Replace blanks with letter
Is there also a way to have the code remember what I typed and not stop after the first letter the user types? For example, if I typed 'a' once, thus returning 'a__', and then typed in 'b', I want the code to return 'ab_' and so on. I wasn't clear about this part in my original post. Thanks for the help.

.split() Qeustion
How can I use the '.split()' method (am I right in calling it a method?) without instead of writing each comma between words in the pie list in the following code?

I'm trying to create an option for the program to repeat if the user types 'y'

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: beginner question (True False help)
What I wanted to happen is when the user typed something other than 'y' or 'yes' after being asked 'go again?', the batman==False line would cause the program to stop asking anything and say 'this is the end'. Instead, what is happening is that the program just keeps going. I figured that after defining the function (thingy(), repeat()), that the while statement would repeat until the 'go again' user input was something other than 'y' or 'yes', and the batman==False part of the repeat() function would cause the 'while batman==True' part to become False and end. You probably answered my question and I'm too dumb to see it, but that's a slight elaboration on my problem. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
