How do I print a specific character from a string in Python? I am still learning and now trying to make a hangman like program. The idea is that the user enters one character, and if it is in the word, the word will be printed with all the undiscovered letters as "-".

I am not asking for a way to make my idea/code of the whole project better, just a way to, as i said, print that one specific character of the string.

print(yourstring[characterposition])

Example

print("foobar"[3]) 

prints the letter b

EDIT:

mystring = "hello world"
lookingfor = "l"
for c in range(0, len(mystring)):if mystring[c] == lookingfor:print(str(c) + " " + mystring[c]);

Outputs:

2 l
3 l
9 l

And more along the lines of hangman:

mystring = "hello world"
lookingfor = "l"
for c in range(0, len(mystring)):if mystring[c] == lookingfor:print(mystring[c], end="")elif mystring[c] == " ":print(" ", end="")else:print("-", end="")

produces

--ll- ---l-
