Comment on need help with some fundamentals of for loops. it looks like im so close to fully grasping grabbing an item out of a list, but not quite. examples below

guess = input(“Guess a letter:”).lower()
display = [ letter if letter == guess else “_” for letter in word ]

  Even as an experienced python dev I sometimes prefer explicit for loops over list comprehensions. I think for people who didn’t even grasp the concept of a for loop they are more confusing than helping.

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of them overall. I think multiple lines is more readable. There are a LOT of people that disagree with me though.

    I thought I was the only one… to me unless it’s a super-simplistic comprehension, it has a similar effect as when C programmers write if (xx = !(1 == (a ? !c : 34 ^ blit_target))) {. Congratulations, you fit it all on one line! At the expense of totally destroying my train of thought when I’m trying to scan down the code and figure out what the hell’s going on. Well done.
