How do I print a specific character from a string in Python? I am still learning and now trying to make a hangman like program. The idea is that the user enters one character, and if it is in the word, the word will be printed with all the undiscovered letters as "-".
I am not asking for a way to make my idea/code of the whole project better, just a way to, as i said, print that one specific character of the string.
print(yourstring[characterposition])
Example
print("foobar"[3])
prints the letter b
EDIT:
mystring = "hello world"
lookingfor = "l"
for c in range(0, len(mystring)):
if mystring[c] == lookingfor:
print(str(c) + " " + mystring[c]);
Outputs:
2 l
3 l
9 l
And more along the lines of hangman:
mystring = "hello world"
lookingfor = "l"
for c in range(0, len(mystring)):
if mystring[c] == lookingfor:
print(mystring[c], end="")
elif mystring[c] == " ":
print(" ", end="")
else:
print("-", end="")
produces
--ll- ---l-
all you need to do is add brackets with the char number to the end of the name of the string you want to print, i.e.
text="hello"
print(text[0])
print(text[2])
print(text[1])
returns:
h
l
e
Well if you know the character you want to search you can use this approach.
i = character looking for
input1 = string
if i in input1:
print(i)
you can change the print statement according to your logic.
name = "premier league"
for x in name:
print(x)
Result shown below:-
To print specific characters of the given string. For example to print 'l' from the given string
name = "premier league"
for x in name:
if x == "l":
print("element found: "+x)
