使用 For 语句打印字符串，然后将该字符串设置为变量

Question

I am trying to make a hangman game without copying other examples. I am fully aware I might not be using the most efficient method, but I want to see if there is a way to do this:

I have a string variable called word , which is the word being guessed. Any correctly guessed letter is placed in a list, rightguesses .

I am using a for loop to print the word, only printing the letters in the rightguesses list, and printing a _ for any letters that are not in the rightguesses list.

My problem is that I want to grab the string produced from this for loop and assign it to a variable, but I am having trouble figuring out how. Can I use a function and return this value somehow?

So, if the word being guessed is 'python' and rightguesses is ['p'] , the string I get is 'p _ _ _ _ _' . I want to take this string and set it to a variable called userword so I can test to see if userword == word to determine if the full word has been guessed.

word = 'python'
rightguesses = []
wrongguesses = []
guesscount = 0

while guesscount < 10:
    print("Here is the current board:")
    for char in word:
        if char in rightguesses:
            print(char,end='')
        else:
            print("_",end='')
    print("\n")
    print("guess a letter")
    guess = input()
    if guess in word:
        rightguesses.append(guess)
        guesscount += 1
        print(guesscount)
    elif guess not in word and guess not in wrongguesses:
        wrongguesses.append(guess)
        print("Incorrect guess")
        guesscount += 1
    elif guess in wrongguesses or guess in rightguesses:
        print("You've already guessed that")
        continue

There's no need to do that. In your loop that prints a letter or _ , you can tell if they guessed the whole word if you never print _ . So set a variable during that loop.

while guesscount < 10:
    guessed_right = True
    print("Here is the current board:")
    for char in word:
        if char in rightguesses:
            print(char,end='')
        else:
            print("_",end='')
            guessed_right = False
    print("\n")
    if guessed_right:
        print("You win!")
        break
    print("guess a letter")
    guess = input()
    if guess in word:
        rightguesses.append(guess)
        guesscount += 1
        print(guesscount)
    elif guess not in word and guess not in wrongguesses:
        wrongguesses.append(guess)
        print("Incorrect guess")
        guesscount += 1
    elif guess in wrongguesses or guess in rightguesses:
        print("You've already guessed that")
        continue

Answer 2

Above you got an answer on an alternative way of doing this. But if you want to know what getting that variable might look like, here's a way to do it.

Where you had

    for char in word:
        if char in rightguesses:
            print(char, end='')
        else:
            print("_", end='')
    print("\n")

you can use

    userword = ""
    for char in word:
        if char in rightguesses:
            userword += char
        else:
            userword += "_"
    print(userword)

to, while iterating, build a word in userword and call print() only once at the end (in your example performance isn't an issue, but calling print() for every character may be a performance bottleneck in a more output-heavy program).

Of course, you can then use "_" in userword to test if it is complete or not.
