So i'm making a Wordle clone and i keep getting a "indexerror: string is out of range" and i dont know what to do and every time i do the second guess it will say indexerrror string is out off range

You are indexing TheAnswer[position] which basically means if TheAnswer is x length long, then the position should be,
But since the position variable is a local variable of the function, it continuously increases on each guess. Does not get reset on each guess.
Try moving the
position = 0
Into top of the while loop.

Thanks!
I'm trying to create a function. Function; it will simply be designed to increase the last letter sequence from its position in the alphabet or letter list.
import time
def CountDown(text,reply=3):
abc = list("ABCDEFGHIJ")
c = 1
text_list = list(text)
while 1:
Index = abc.index(text_list[-c])
if not list(filter(lambda a: a!=abc[-1], text_list)):
return "".join(text_list)
if text_list[-c] == abc[-1]:
text_list[-c] = abc[0]
c += 1
continue
else:
s=1
while 1:
text_list[-c] = abc[(Index+s) if (Index+s)<len(abc) else 0]
if text_list.count(abc[(Index+s) if (Index+s)<len(abc) else 0])+1<reply:
break
s+=1
text_list[-c] = abc[(Index+s) if (Index+s)<len(abc) else 0]

The code doesn't give an output after a while. I think there is something wrong.
How can I fix this code sample?
So I tried to make a game where the computer chooses a random 4 digit number out of 10 given numbers. The computer then compares the guess of the user with the random chosen code, and will give feedback accordingly:
G = correct digit that is correctly placed
C = correct digit, but incorrectly placed
F = the digit isn't in the code chosen by the computer
However, the feedback doesn't always output correctly.
Fox example, when I guess 9090, the feedback I get is F C F, while the feedback should consist of 4 letters.... How can I fix this?

You can try the game here:

Here, you can see an example of what I mean.
Here is what I came up with. Let me know if it works.

I have a program which is meant to show where the last group of letters 'ing' are within a word for example if the user inputted 'sing' it would output '2'. However when I have a word like 'singing' it outputs '2' and '5'. Whereas I want it to only display the '5':
userinput = input('Enter a word: ')
ING = 0
while ING < len(userinput):
ING = userinput.find('ing', ING)
if ING == (-1):
print('-1')
break
print('ing found at', ING+1)
ING += 3
userinput = input('Enter a word: ')
x = userinput.rfind('ing')+1
if x != 0:
print(x)
rfind is a method which searches the last occurence.
I am having a problem with my code trying to do an advanced caesar cipher shift. I changed a certain letter to another, and then added a string to certain parts of a file before encoding, but am having problems doing the shifting now. This is my code:
import string
import sys
count = 1
cont_cipher = "Y"
#User inputs text
while cont_cipher == "Y":
if count == 1:
file = str(input("Enter input file:" ""))
k = str(input("Enter shift amount: "))
purpose = str(input("Encode (E) or Decode (D) ?: "))
#Steps to encode the message, replace words/letter then shift
if purpose == "E":
my_file = open(file, "r")
file_contents = my_file.read()
#change all "e"s to "zw"s
for letter in file_contents:
if letter == "e":
file_contents = file_contents.replace(letter, "zw")
#add "hokie" to beginning, middle, and end of each line
lines = file_contents.split('\n')
def middle_message(lines, position, word_to_insert):
lines = lines[:position] + word_to_insert + lines[position:]
return lines
new_lines = ["hokie" + middle_message(lines[x], len(lines[x])//2, "hokie") + "hokie" for x in range(len(lines))]
#math to do the actual encryption
def caesar(word, shifts):
word_list = list(new_lines)
result = []
s = 0
for c in word_list:
next_ord = ord(c) + s + 2
if next_ord > 122:
next_ord = 97
result.append(chr(next_ord))
s = (s + 1) % shifts
return "".join(result)
if __name__ == "__main__":
print(caesar(my_file, 5))
#close file and add to count
my_file.close()
count = count + 1
The error I am getting is:
TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 58 found
I know that I need to split it into individual characters, but am not sure how to do this. I need to use the updated message and not the original file in this step...
