Question

question # 3
multiple choice
in your guessing game, you replaced dashes in blanks when the user guessed a correct letter by using string slice.
which line of code will replace the character with an index of n with the guessed letter?
blanks = blanks(n) + letter + blanks(n+1)
blanks = blanks(:n) + letter + blanks(n+1:)
blanks = blanks:n + letter + blanksn+1:
blanks = blanksn + letter + blanksn +

Explanation:

Step1: Understand string slicing

In Python, string slicing is done using square - brackets []. The syntax for slicing a string s is s[start:stop:step]. To replace the character at index n with a letter, we need to take the part of the string before index n, then append the letter, and then append the part of the string after index n.

Step2: Analyze each option

The correct way to slice the string blanks to replace the character at index n with letter is to use blanks[:n] + letter+ blanks[n + 1:]. The first slice blanks[:n] gets all characters from the start of the string up to (but not including) index n. The second slice blanks[n + 1:] gets all characters from index n+1 to the end of the string.

Answer:

blanks = blanks[:n] + letter + blanks[n+1:] (corresponding to the third option in the multiple - choice list)
