One of the further practices ask for*:" make your letter_to_points
dictionary able to handle lowercase inputs as well"*
Instead of create another dict with lowercase letters, I simply used the .upper()
to make all parameter input as uppercase.
It seemed to work.
This is a correct approach? Am I missing something here?
def score_word(word):
point_total = 0
for letter in word.upper():
point_total += letter_to_points.get(letter, 0)
return point_total
