Help me with this cows and bulls game..

Question

while True:
import random
import re#regular expression

num=str(random.randint(1000,9999))
#to generate random int
num=re.findall('\S',num)
#to split the random num into a list
num=str(num)
#convert it into a string
print(num)
inp=input('enter a number : ')
inp=re.findall('\S',inp)
#to split the input

y=0
while y<=3:
for n in num:
if inp[y]==n:
print([n])
break
y+=1
#the loop to check for bulls which ain't workin... : (

Answer 1

I had a play with it. You didn't need re. module. look at how i iterate through lists in mine compared to yours. Add the 'while True' loop only when you've got the mechanics working. You should be able to finish it off easier now. Remember - It's good that you used comments but comments go above what they describe. Use descriptive names for variables. Good luck!

#Help me with this cows and bulls game..

import random
# bulls variable to record correct guesses
bulls = 0

#to generate random int
num=str(random.randint(1000,9999))

# Create list for random number
numbers = []
# Add individual numbers to list
for i in num:
numbers.append(int(i))

print(numbers)
# Get user guesses and add to list
guess=input('enter a number : ')
guesses = []
#to split the input
for g in guess:
guesses.append(int(g))

# Check the guesses against the random numbers
position = 0
while position < 4:
if guesses[position]==numbers[position]:
bulls += 1
position += 1
# To go here: loop to check cows
# Show bulls
if bulls == 1:
print(bulls,"bull")
else:
print(bulls,"bulls")
