I'm doing 'guess the word' on Python and I can't figure out this error.
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'index' (python)
It is giving me an error on the line letterIndex=word.index(guess).
def checkLetter(word):
blanks = '_' * len(str(word))
print('Word: ', blanks)
if str(guess) == str(letters):
letterIndex = word.index(guess)
newBlank = blanks[:letterIndex * 2] + guess + blanks[letterIndex * 2 + 1]
print('Guess Corrrect')
From earlier when you cast word as a string, I presume that word is not a string. With that in mind, it may not have the index function. At the very least, you likely need to change that line to
letterIndex=str(word).index(guess)
Although I would raise questions on why a variable called word is an int.
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'index'
The error message could hardly be more clear. It tells you that word is an int and has no attribute named index. Did you intend word to be a string? Or did you forget to convert it to a string?
word variable is of int type , and int type does not have the index function.
Convert word to string type using str():
letterIndex=str(word).index(guess)
wordis an integer. Integers do not have the methodindex. So you go through your code and search for the place where you definewordas an integer.
