Beginner python coder here, keep things simple, please.
So, I need this code below to scramble two letters without scrambling the first or last letters. Everything seems to work right up until the scrambler()
function.
from random import randint
def wordScramble(string):
stringArray = string.split()
for word in stringArray:
if len(word) >= 4:
letter = randint(1,len(word)-2)
point = letter
while point == letter:
point = randint(1, len(word)-2)
word = switcher(word,letter,point)
' '.join(stringArray)
return stringArray
def switcher(word,letter,point):
word = list(word)
word[letter],word[point]=word[point],word[letter]
return word
print(wordScramble("I can't wait to see how this turns itself out"))
The outcome is always:
I can't wait to see how this turns itself out
Since you are a beginner, I tried to change your code as little as possible. Mostly you are expecting changes to
word
to change the contents or your liststringArray
. The comments mark the changes and reasons.
