splitting a random song - Unknown_Relic - Nov-14-2019
this is meant to be a music quiz where they login and need to guess the song by the first letters of each word in the title. When im run the code i get an error with the split_song. Im fairly new to python and i cant find how to fix it.
import random
def access_data():
with open("Passwords.txt", "r") as f:
passwords = [line.rstrip("\n") for line in f]
with open("Usernames.txt", "r") as f:
usernames = [line.rstrip("\n") for line in f]
with open("Songnames.txt", "r") as f:
songnames = [line.strip("\n") for line in f]
with open("songartists.txt", "r") as f:
songartists = [line.strip("\n") for line in f]
return passwords, usernames, songnames, songartists
def login(usernames, passwords):
enter_username = input("Input your username")
if enter_username in usernames:
enter_password = input("Input your password")
if enter_password in passwords:
username_pos = usernames.index(enter_username)
password_pos = passwords.index(enter_password)
if username_pos == password_pos:
print("well done you logged in", enter_username)
return True
else:
print("your password does not match the username")
else:
print("password not found")
else:
print("username is not authorised")
return False
def song_selection(songnames, songartists):
random_song = random.choice(songnames)
random_songPos = songnames.index(random_song)
random_artist = songartists[random_songPos]
print(random_song, "/", random_songPos, "/", random_artist)
return random_song, random_artist
def split_song(songnames):
print(songnames)
for letter in songnames.split(" "):
print(letter[0])
def main():
passwords, usernames, songnames, songartists = access_data()
success = login(usernames, passwords)
if success == True:
while True:
random_song, random_artist = song_selection(songnames, songartists)
split_song(songnames)
break
main()

RE: splitting a random song error message - Unknown_Relic - Nov-15-2019
Below is the error code for the python code for splitting the random song. I messed around with it a little and i think its to do with splitting a variable but im not sure.
Input your usernameBen
Input your passwordTommy_04
well done you logged in Ben
Livin on a Prayer / 12 / Bon Jovi

When you call...
while True:
random_song, random_artist = song_selection(songnames, songartists)
split_song(songnames)
breakYou are passing songnames (a list) to split_song. A list does not have "split" as the error mentions. Instead you should pass the random_song that you have chosen previously in song_selection. And then something like:
def split_song(random_song):
for word in random_song.split(" "):
print(word[0])By the way, your username/password checking process allows the users to guess if any other person has certain password, what is in most scenarios a bad idea.
