I am writing a small script that goes through a string and finds a given character and replaces it with another.
def scrambler(string):
sen = ''
for c in string:
if c.lower == 'k':
sen += 'm'
elif c.lower == 'o':
sen += 'q'
elif c.lower == 'e':
sen += 'g'
else:
sen += c
return sen
print scrambler('koe')
As you can see if the letter is 'k' then 'm' should be added to sen. For some reason the condition is not being met but I am not sure why.
You are comparing the function object c.lower
with a character constant: you need to invoke the function, instead:
def scrambler(string):
sen = ''
for c in string:
if c.lower() == 'k':
sen += 'm'
elif c.lower() == 'o':
sen += 'q'
elif c.lower() == 'e':
sen += 'g'
else:
sen += c
return sen
print scrambler('koe')
