Can the following code be simplified/ improved? (NOTE: I am yet to learn OOP/ def functions). I have not used OOP and def functions on purpose, as I am yet to learn this aspect of Python. I have listed some things I would like to improve on below.
- Could/ Should I implement for loops?
- Is the structure of the code of a good standard?
- How can I simplify the code (using less loops/ less code in general)?
# Python 3.4.3 // MacOS (Latest)
import random
WORD = ('apple', 'oracle', 'amazon', 'microsoft')
word = random.choice(WORD)
correct = word
clue = word[0] + word[(len(word)-1):(len(word))]
letter_guess = ''
word_guess = ''
store_letter = ''
count = 0
limit = 5
print('Welcome to "Guess the Word Game!"')
print('You have 5 attempts at guessing letters in a word')
print('Let\'s begin!')
print('\n')
while count < limit:
letter_guess = input('Guess a letter: ')
if letter_guess in word:
print('yes!')
store_letter += letter_guess
count += 1
if letter_guess not in word:
print('no!')
count += 1
if count == 2:
print('\n')
clue_request = input('Would you like a clue?')
if clue_request == 'y':
print('\n')
print('CLUE: The first and last letter of the word is: ', clue)
if clue_request == 'n':
print('You\'re very brave!')
print('\n')
print('Now its time to guess. You have guessed',len(store_letter),'letters correctly.')
print('These letters are: ', store_letter)
word_guess = input('Guess the whole word: ')
while word_guess:
if word_guess.lower() == correct:
print('Congrats!')
break
elif word_guess.lower() != correct:
print('Unlucky! The answer was,', word)
break
print('\n')
input('Press Enter to leave the program')
