Hi,
My question is more about style/timing than anything else.
In my program I'm taking a word and generating "blanks" in that word.
For example, the word cat could generate:
_at
c_t
ca_
I have two different ways I can put _ in the word:
word = 'cat'
''.join(list(word)[1] = '_'

In my program I'm taking a word and generating "blanks" in that word. For

_at
c_t
ca_
I have two different ways I can put _ in the word:
word = 'cat'
''.join(list(word)[1] = '_')
and
# I'm not
