[Tutor] Code for python game

[Derry, James R]

hi, tracey,

are you allowed to use python sets? if so, you should take a look at them and their methods:

Subject: [Tutor] Code for python game

Im in the middle of designing a game in python, im quite new to using it and am struggling with a certain bit of code. I want to have a function that will ignore certain words that i have specified in a dictionary. I have tried so many different types of code but can't seem to return just the keywords i want.


the dictionary is called skip_words and has about 20 different strings in.


so far i came up with:

def filter_words(words, skip_words):

       word = words.strip(skip_words)


       return word


The function should read an input such as help me please and filter out the words "please" and "me" as they are in the dictionary and just return the word help as the input.


>>>filter_words(["help", "me", "please"], ["me", "please"])

    ['help']


That doesn't work but i just assume it is a very simple bit of code.

any suggestions of a way that works?


Thanks:) T
