Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
This code derived from the blurry image
lst = ['malaysian', 'malayalam', 'aaaaaaaaa']
ip = input('word ')
li = len(ip)
miss = 0
for word in lst:
if len(word) == li:
for j in range(li-1): # skip last because of lookahead
if word[j] != ip[j] and word[j+1] != ip[j]:
miss += 1
if miss < li/2:
print(word)
run with 3.8.0b4 on Win10 in IDLE prints the expected output.
word malayalam
malaysian
malayalam
I leave it to you to find out why you got something different and to play with
variations. Please direct any questions to python-list or similar forums, as
they will almost certainly be off-topic here. And do follow the advice about
question format and providing code as text.
Steven, the code ran without error in PyCharm, but gave no matches. I presume
that the 'error' was not matching 'malaysian' even though the miss count 4 is
less than 4.5. I must have corrected something when reading the blurs and
polishing the code.
