984 PointsCan someone help me solve this challenge? I think I'm having issues understanding the instructions!
The challenge is:
Add a score method to Game that takes a player argument that'll be either 1 or 2. Increase that player's value in self.current_score by 1. You'll need to adjust the index (i.e. player = 1 means self.current_score[0] needs to increase).
class Game:
def __init__(self):
self.current_score = [0, 0]
def score(self):
player = input("Enter a score of 1 or 2")
if player == 1 or player == 2:
self.current_score[0] += 1
return self.current_score
else:
return self.player

Courses Plus Student 9,399 PointsSo, you need to create a method score that will be passed a player which will be a number 1 or 2. Based on which player is passesd in you should update that players score in the current_score list. Notice that
self.current_score = [0, 0]
So player 1 is index 0 and player 2 is index 1, a little confusing I know. There is no need to return an a value, you are just updating the current_score list in place. I have made some comments below to help guide you
class Game:
def __init__(self):
self.current_score = [0, 0]
# need to pass the player in. will be the integer 1 or 2
def score(self, player):
# no need to accept user input below. It wants the player passed into the method
#player = input("Enter a score of 1 or 2")
# if player 1 is passed in:
# update current_score for player 1. hint: what is the index of player 1 in current_score?
# if player 2 is passed in:
#update currrent_score for player 2
Hopefully this helps!

class Game: def init(self): self.current_score = [0, 0] def score(self, player): if player == 1: self.current_score[0] += 1 elif player == 2: self.current_score[1] += 1

class Game:
def __init__(self):
self.current_score = [0, 0]
def score(self, player):
self.current_score[player -1] += 1
To explain:
In this challenge you make a method inherits current_score via the self argument, but requires specificity regarding which player you are referring to via the player argument. Currently there are only 2 players: player 1 (self.current_score[0]) and player 2 (self.current_score[0]).
Your job is to increment the player's score at hand whose specificity is provided in the argument as either a 1 or a 2. Being that they aren't represented as such in the list/array you'll need to tack on a "-1" after referencing the player value. Then increment that players score by 1 ("+=1")
