when you meet the code, kill the code
Comments(0)It’s 2:45 am…I’ve been working on this for the last 6 hours:
import re
import string
l = string.lowercase
u = string.uppercase
def fun(delta, s):
r = re.compile(':(.{%s})(.*?):' % delta)
p = r.sub(r'\2\1', ':%s::%s:' % (l, u))
m = string.maketrans(l + u, p)
print s.translate(m)
s = raw_input("What is the string?
delta = raw_input("And by how many places do we change it?
fun(delta, s)
(looks like WP’s sourcecode tags are broken, but imagine a closing quote and parentheses for the raw_input functions there)
I learned a lot about regexps and list rotations in the course of this, 80% of which I didn’t know before…however the canonical solution for the same problem here can be done in half as much code. And probably less than that (actually, not probably — definitely — like in one line depending on the language). The idea is to use slices. Slices! If I had known…but now I do.
Anyway I’m still learning the syntax basically, but it’s a lot of fun.
Oh yeah…the idea is to aim toward making a Python roguelike. (!!?!!)
