So, what do you think will happen if the word contains no vowels? Where
is pigword defined?
for x in range(len(newex)):
sentence = sentence + pigword(newex[x])+ " "
print (sentence)
wait = input (" Wait")
You don't need to iterate over range(len(blah)). The standard idiom
when you need index as well as the item itself is to iterate over
enumerate(). Or if you don't need the index, just iterate directly.
You can iterate directly over the list, or the letters in the word,
optionally getting an index. It's much cleaner and less error prone.
Consider something like:
def pigword(word):
for x,letter in enumerate(word):
# x is index (position), letter is the value at that index
if letter in "AEIOUaeiou":
...
for word in list_of_words:
sentence = sentence + pigword(word) + " "
...
That doesn't solve your little logic problem, though I think you can
figure that part out easily!
I am still kind of shooting in the dark.
I wanted to try your example and it doesn't seem to work.
This is the latest version of changes I have made so the entire
program looks like this:
newex='Hey buddy get away from my car'
newex = newex.split()
sentence=""
print (newex)
wait = input (" Wait")
def pigword(test):
for x in range(len(test)):
if test[x] in "AEIOUYyaeiou":
stem = test [x:]
prefix = test [:x]
pigword = stem + prefix + "ay"
print ("Stem ",stem)
print ("Prefix",prefix)
print (pigword)
break
return (pigword)
for x in range(len(newex)):
sentence = sentence + pigword(newex[x])+ " "
print (sentence)
wait = input (" Wait")
Trying to use your example
def pigword(word):
for x,letter in enumerate(word):
# x is index (position), letter is the value at that index
if letter in "AEIOUaeiou":
BTW I added "AEIOUYyaeiou" y as a vowel.
I tried changing:
for x in range(len(test)):
to
for x in enumerate(test):
That causes an error to popup in a different place. I don't
understand why.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Functions\piglatin.py", line 26, in <module>
sentence = sentence + pigword(newex[x])+ " "
File "C:\Functions\piglatin.py", line 15, in pigword
if test[x] in "AEIOUYyaeiou":
TypeError: string indices must be integers
Try printing out x. That should give you a clue!
Since you included:
for word in list_of_words:
sentence = sentence + pigword(word) + " "
I take it you anticipated a fault here. I don't understand why.
