Can I get some help with this bug?
# 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
w,z = direction
for x,y,hp in player and w,z in direction:
x = x + w
y = y + z
if x < 0:
x == 0
hp = hp - 5
if x > 9:
x == 9
hp = hp - 5
if y < 0:
y == 0
hp = hp - 5
if y > 9:
y == 9
hp = hp - 5
return x, y, hp

def move(player, direction):
x, y, hp = player
w,z = direction
x = x + w
y = y + z
if x < 0:
x = 0
hp = hp - 5
if x > 9:
x = 9
hp = hp - 5
if y < 0:
y = 0
hp = hp - 5
if y > 9:
y = 9
hp = hp - 5
return x, y, hp

Just a basic question - Why are performing this step x=x+w y=y+z
In other words, why are we adding co-ordinates of direction with x and y?
