Alright, I'm having trouble with this. I'm trying the examples AND getting the correct results but it still says "Bummer! Hmm, didn't get the right movement!"
I am also trying this one locally and running it in Terminal so I can view the print output. It is the same as the code shown below but I've added a print statement to view and verify the output: print("{}, {}, {}".format(x, y, hp))
My output is this:
python playerhitpoints.py 0, 1, 10
0, 1, 5
0, 9, 0
# 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
xm, ym = direction
# handle the hit points
if x + xm < 0 or x + xm > 9:
hp -= 5
if y + ym < 0 or y + ym > 9:
hp -= 5
# handle the movement
if (x + xm) >= 0 and (x + xm) <= 9:
x += xm
if y + ym > 0 and y + ym < 9:
y += ym
return x, y, hp

Your last if statement should include equal to as well - then your code works fine.
if y + ym >= 0 and y + ym <= 9:

11,049 PointsSteve, THANK YOU! That worked great.
It is always the little things, isn't it? I'll have to hone my attention to detail.

57,712 PointsIt is so often a small mistake that you don't see - I've spent days looking at the problem and not seeing it! I try to write tests for my code to catch these errors in a controlled way. I don't know what testing framework would be used for Python; I'm not a Python developer. I'm sure Google will help with that!
