Hello,
Background. My 11 y/o son and I have taken on the task to learn python and
work our way through the http://inventwithpython.com/chapters/ book.
- We are currently on Chapter 9 and trying to modify the hangman program.
- the first challenge was to modify the word list into a dictionary. So we
changed our words variable into a dictionary
-- I believe we did this correctly.
- But we somehow broke the game. All of the words are only two letters and
the program crashes on exit with the following error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/media/.../Python/hangman.py", line 155, in <module>
print('You have run out of guesses! \n After ' + str(len(missedLetters)) +
' missed guesses and ' + str(len(correctLetters)) + ' correct guesses, the word
was "' + secretWord + '"')
TypeError: Can't convert 'list' object to str implicitly
-I can't see why this wouldn't work. By definition isn't this the cast:
1) len(correctLetters) //returns the lengths of the variable as an int
2) str(len(correctLetters)) // converts the integer into a string.
Applicable code is here:
# Check if player has guessed too many times and lost
if len(missedLetters) == len(HANGMANPICS) - 1:
displayBoard(HANGMANPICS, missedLetters, correctLetters, secretWord)
print('You have run out of guesses! \n After ' +
str(len(missedLetters)) + ' missed guesses and ' + str(len(correctLetters)) + '
correct guesses, the word was "' + secretWord + '"')
gameIsDone = True
Any help to get us past this error message is most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
