How do you replace 'Y' from input with YES?-CodePudding

Is there a way how to replace an input text/letter with printed statement in python? I've tried the("", end"r") but it doesn't work.

I'd like the y/Y which users type in to be replaced with YES and the same with n/N - replaced with NO.

user_choice = input("Are you ready to play? (Y/N)\n---\n").upper()
    while user_choice:
        if user_choice == "Y":
            print("YES", end="\r")
            get_random_word()
            break
        elif user_choice == "N":
            print('NO', end="\r")

CodePudding user response：

You can do this by taking the cursor up one line up (where Y or N was typed) and then deleting the line. Then replacing it with YES or No

This can be done by using a function, shown in the code below.

import sys

def delete_last_line():
    "Use this function to delete the last line in the STDOUT"

    #cursor up one line
    sys.stdout.write('\x1b[1A')

    #delete last line
    sys.stdout.write('\x1b[2K')

user_choice = input("Are you ready to play? (Y/N)\n---\n").upper()
while user_choice:
    if user_choice == "Y":
        delete_last_line()
        print("YES")
        get_random_word()
        break
    elif user_choice == "N":
        delete_last_line()
        print('NO')
