General Reflection: I didn’t have code for user input checking because it didn’t say we needed to - hope this is okay!

6.1 Reflection: This one took me a bit. At one point, I wanted the program to break “if index == “ ““/if I’d gotten to the end of the word. I was getting an index error and got stuck.

Then I went on to Exercise 3 before coming back to this exercise and realizing I had to factor in word length. I made a negative_len variable for negative length since index was starting at -1/the end of the word and I wanted to print letters until the word was done/we had reached index = negative_len - 1. This worked.

6.3 Reflection: Here, I needed a refresher on how functions worked. I needed to ask the user for input outside of the function and return the function.

I also had “if let == “let”” for a while, which was returning 0 because I needed to take out the quotation marks for it to return the user input. I realized this was occurring, and what the program was doing, but couldn’t figure out how to fix it for a bit.

Also, printing types part way through is a very helpful troubleshooting method.

6.4 Reflection: The linked website’s notation on str.count was confusing, so I consulted http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/string_count.htm for further assistance.

I had str.count (I thought this was for a general string), not word.count for a while. Also, I needed to print word.count, not let!

6.5 Reflection: I based this on the Stephen Marquard example in the book chapter (commented out in my Trinket). It wasn’t as difficult as the previous ones. I also printed more things than necessary to ensure that it worked.
