Lesson 6 - More On If Statements With Strings

If Statements can be used to search strings.

Read the following program and then try it:

AND, OR, AND NOT

These 3 words can be used to add on to if statements.

In the example above, we used OR to check for multiple things in the variable.

NOTE: you cannot do this:

• if "a" or "b" or "c" in word

This will give you an error. You must complete your comparison fully before adding on another one!

AND will look to see if both comparisons are true:

• if "a" in word and "b" in word

This sees if you have both things in the word, not just one. The OR case lets you have either one.

AND NOT means basically the opposite of what you're comparing.

• if "a" in word AND NOT "b" in word

This means you want "a" to be in the word and you don't want "b" to be there

Lesson 6 EPIC Assignment (Difficulty 7/10):

Make the game Hangman with the following conditions:

• You get 6 guesses for letters and it tells you how many guesses you have had
• It will ask if you are guessing a letter or word
• It keeps track of letters you used that are right and tells you
• It keeps track of letters you used that are wrong and tells you
• There are no graphics, only text (keep it shorter)
• The solution is pre-set by you. Call that variable "answer"
• Answers should not have double/repeat letters
• Put your name in comments at the top
• It will tell you if you win or lose
• When the game ends (win or lose), it tell if you won or lost
• The output looks similar to the following pictures
