The Game of Master Mind is played as follows:
The computer has four slots, and each slot will contain a ball that is red (R). yellow (Y). green (G) or blue (B). For example, the computer might have RGGB (Slot #1 is red, Slots #2 and #3 are green, Slot #4 is blue).
You, the user, are trying to guess the solution. You might, for example, guess YRGB.
When you guess the correct color for the correct slot, you get a "hit:' If you guess a color that exists but is in the wrong slot, you get a "pseudo-hit:' Note that a slot that is a hit can never count as a pseudo-hit.
For example, if the actual solution is RGBY and you guess GGRR, you have one hit and one pseudo-hit. Write a method that, given a guess and a solution, returns the number of hits and pseudo-hits.
Given a sequence of colors solution
, and a guess
, write a method that return the number of hits and pseudo-hit answer
, where answer[0]
is the number of hits and answer[1]
is the number of pseudo-hit.
Example:
Input: solution="RGBY",guess="GGRR"
Output: [1,1]
Explanation: hit once, pseudo-hit once.
Note:
len(solution) = len(guess) = 4

,"B"
