The correct answer is paris, but the player types PaRiS with spaces and capital letters. Why is the reply marked wrong, and how do you fix it?
Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
lower() and strip() make a reply easier to compare.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Why. " PaRiS " == "paris" is False. Python compares the exact characters. The capital letters and the spaces make a different text.
Fix. Clean the reply before comparing: reply.lower().strip() makes the letters small and removes the spaces at the two ends. Then the comparison is True.
