Today we learned new stuff

How to reverse a word

s = input (‘type something’)

print (s [::-1])

How to scramble 2 words together

#1 gather the user input

x = input('1')
y = input('2')

#2. figure out how long we should loop
if (len(x)>len(y)):
    looplength = len(x)
else :
    looplength = len(y)

#3, we loop through the longest string
for i in range(looplength):
    #3.1 we only print if we are not at end of the string
    if (i<len(x)):
        print (x[i])

    if (i<len(y)):
        print (y[i])

This works because you have two strings and you can make the 1st 
letter of string x and string y and mash them together in this 
example I will use Bob and Hello so it will be BH
                                               oe
                                               bl
                                                l
                                                o

Notice how the last 2 letters do not have a pair it is because, Hello is 2 letters longer than Bob. If I do Hello and Python it will end up the outcome will be HP, ey, lt, lh, on. Now all have a pair this is made possible because the two words have the same amount of words.

Minecraft Python editing

Go to your Raspberry Pi Type:

#!/usr/bin/python # Import Minecraft Libraries import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft import mcpi.block as block

mc = minecraft.minecraft.create() # Get player position pPos = mc.player.getTilePos()

mc.postToChat (“API Test”)

# Change block

print “Create stone 3×3 cube”

mc.setBlocks(pPos.x-1,pPos.y,pPos.z-1,pPos.x+1,pPos.y+2,pPos.z+1,block.STONE)

print “Position player on top”

mc.player.setPos(pPos.x,pPos.y+3,pPos.z)

mc.postToChat(“Move and have another go.”)

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import Minecraft libraries

import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft

import mcpi.block as block

mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create()

# Get player position

pPos = mc.player.getTilePos()

mc.postToChat(“API Test!”)`
