This is my first post so go gentle. I'm just getting into Python
programming and am having an issue understanding the Word Jumble Game.
Welcome.
First thing is we have no idea what Chapter 4 refers to so please tell
us the source you are working from (alsoi OS and Python version helps too)
Secondly tell us what happens when you run it and what you expected and
what you got and why you are surprised/puzzled.
import random
WORDS = ('python','jumble','easy','difficult','lower','high')
word = random.choice(WORDS)
correct = word
FWIW I don't understand the above line. It does nothing useful and
correct is not used again...
jumble = ""
while word:
position = random.randrange(len(word))
jumble += word[position]
word = word[:position] + word[(position+1):]
Also since there are no print statements it all seems a tad pointless,
are you sure that's the whole program?
