Exercise 48, my version of lexicon.py (Need advice)

Python
#1

Hello together, hope you are all well.

This is my first post here.

I am writing because I think I am struggling with understanding of class and function usage.

I am able to solve the exercises, writing my own code, but I think I am something missing.

Please access my version of lexicon.py using the link from below:
lexicon.py

I used pytest to pass all 6 test. All succeed.

I just need your opinion to understand if I am doing right.

I created my own game, with a little different gameplay.

After I will be able to improve my game code as much as possible I will surely come back for some more help.

Thank you.

Almost. You should use a dict:

x = {“north”: “direction”}

What would that do compared to what you have?

#3

Hello Zed,

I am little confused.

It will remove the code which repeats, thus making the function less, easier to understand and more functional?

#4

Yes, it will also work more correctly. I’d say rewrite this code using a dict so you have a better understanding of what’s going on, and also so you can prove to yourself it wasn’t luck. The idea is, with a dict I can do:

word_list.get(‘north’)

And that will give me ‘direction’. Then word_list can be:

word_list = {‘north’: ‘direction’}

Make sense?
