can someone explain this problem, I have been trying to picture this problem in my mind but I can not.

if you can answer step by step will be more than awesome. Thank you

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):
    x, y, hp = player
    xx,yy =direction
    if 9 > x > 0 == -1
        x = x-1
    if 0 >= x > 9     
    return x, y, hp

I don't like to give away the answer, but to break it down:

def move(player, direction):
    # unpack the player and move
    x, y, hp = player
    mx, my = direction

    # apply the move to the player
    x = x + mx
    y = y + my

    # test if the player has gone outside the bounds, all four sides
    # if so, set them at the bound and reduce the hit points
    if x > 9:
        x = 9
        hp = hp - 5

    if y > 9:
        y = 9
        hp = hp - 5

    if x < 0:
        x = 0
        hp = hp - 5

    if y < 0:
        y = 0
        hp = hp - 5

    # Return the player
    return x, y, hp

Thank you, it helps me a lot. I can see now the logic behind and the correlation between the place of the player and the movement.
