In And Out is a game somewhat similar to Hangman, but with a very interesting twist. At the beginning of the game, a hidden word is chosen. The play starts with the IN mode. The player guesses a letter. If the player guesses correctly, the letter is revealed in the hidden word and he / she can guess another letter that has not been used in the IN mode before. The game continues like this until the player guesses a letter which is not in the word or the letter which has been guessed before in the IN mode. At this point, the play turns into the OUT mode and the player is required to guess a letter which he / she thinks is NOT in the word and has not been used in OUT mode before. If the player is incorrect, the mode stays in the OUT mode, and he / she loses points each time he / she guesses incorrectly. Once the player guesses a letter which is not in the word and has not been guessed in the OUT mode before, the play turns into the IN mode again, and the player can resume guessing letters he / she thinks are in the word.

The player has 5 guess chances to guess the word incorrectly or guess the already used letters in modes. If the player finds the word before 5 chances are used, he / she becomes the winner. But if the player cant find the word before making 5 incorrect guesses, he / she becomes the loser.

ASSIGNMENT

Your assignment is to write a computer program which plays a game of IN AND OUT. In particular, your program should do the following:

1. Set the word which is taken as an argument from the command line.
2. Set the letter list taken as an argument from the command line.
3. Play a game of IN AND OUT using the algorithm, as described below:
   • Print out how many guess chances the user has remaining.
   • Take a letter from the letter list. If player is in the IN mode and the picked letter is in the word and the letter has not been used in the IN mode before, reveal the corresponding hidden letter or letters in the word. Repeat this step until the picked letter is not in the word or the letter has been guessed in the IN mode before.
   • If the letter is not in the word or it has been guessed in the IN mode before, and if the player is in the IN mode, change the mode into the OUT mode and decrease the guess chances.
   • If the letter is not in the word and it has not been guessed in the OUT mode before and the player is in the OUT mode, change the mode into the IN Otherwise, stay in the OUT mode and decrease the guess chances.
   • When all hidden letters are revealed and the number of remaining guess chances is bigger than 0, print to the screen the following message: You won the game. If there are still remaining letters in the letter list and there arent any guess chances left, print to the screen the following message: You lost the game Example 1: python3 assignment2.py car c,e,y,a,m,q,r
