Quick Help with Move Function in Hit Points (HINT needed!)

Question

Can someone give me some assistance in figuring out why this wont work. I have updated the position and by unpacking direction into movex and movey it should be accounting for the updating position

movement.py

# EXAMPLES:
# move((1, 1, 10), (-1, 0)) => (0, 1, 10)
# move((0, 1, 10), (-1, 0)) => (0, 1, 5)
# move((0, 9, 5), (0, 1)) => (0, 9, 0)

def move(player, direction):
    movex, movey = direction
    x, y, hp = player
    if x == 0 & movex == -1:
        hp -= 5
        x = 0
    # if player's x == 4 , they can't move right
    elif x == 9 & movex == 1:
        hp -= 5
        x = 9
    # if player's y == 0 , they can't move up
    elif y == 0 & movey == -1:
        hp -= 5
        y = 0
    # if player's y == 4 , they can't move down
    elif y == 9 & movey == 1:
        hp -= 5
        y = 9
    else:
        x += movex
        y += move y         
    return x, y, hp

You're nearly there, I see two issues (on 5 lines):

the boolean combination operator is the word "and", not the symbol "&"
it looks like you have a stray space in the middle of "movey" on the second-to-last line

not sure if this block will work if the direction tuple will have negative (-) numbers?

else:
    x += movex
    y += movey

will you get correct result from this?:

x += -1

Try using 'and' instead of '&'
