Question

#The game HORSE is a popular basketball shooting game.

#It can be played with any number of players. One-by-one,

#each player takes a shot from anywhere they want. If they

#make the shot, the next person must make the same shot.

#If they do not, they receive a letter: H, then O, then R,

#then S, then E. Once a player receives all 5 letters, they

#are out of the game.

#

#The game continues until all but one player has all five

#letters.

#

#Write a function called check_horse_winner. This function

#will take as input a tuple of at least two, but potentially

#more, strings. 

#

#check_horse_winner should return the following:

#

# - If only one player is left with fewer than 5 letters,

#   return "Player X wins!", where X is the index of the

#   player in the list (which could be 0).

# - If more than one player has fewer than 5 letters,

#   return "Players X, Y: keep playing!", where X, Y, and

#   potentially more numbers are the indices of all players

#   who have not yet been eliminated.

# - If no player has 5 letters, return "Everyone: keep

#   playing!"

#Write your function here!

#Below are some lines of code that will test your function.

#You can change the value of the variable(s) to test your

#function with different inputs.

#

#If your function works correctly, this will originally

#print:

#Everyone: keep playing!

#Players 1, 2: keep playing!

#Player 2 wins!

print(check_horse_winner(("HOR", "HORS", "H", "HO")))

print(check_horse_winner(("HORSE", "HOR", "HORS", "HORSE")))

print(check_horse_winner(("HORSE", "HORSE", "HORS", "HORSE")))

Answer 1

def check_horse_winner(players):
        alive = [str(i) for (i, x) in enumerate(players) if len(x) != 5]
        if len(alive) == len(players):
                return 'Everyone: keep playing!'
        if len(alive) == 1:
                return 'Player ' + alive[0] + ' wins!'

        return 'Players ' + ', '.join(alive) + ': keep playing!'


print(check_horse_winner(("HOR", "HORS", "H", "HO")))
print(check_horse_winner(("HORSE", "HOR", "HORS", "HORSE")))
print(check_horse_winner(("HORSE", "HORSE", "HORS", "HORSE")))

Please upvote, as i have given the exact answer as asked in question. Still in case of any concerns in code, let me know in comments. Thanks!
