Write the code to get the Scrabble rack |
Write the code to get the Scrabble rack (the letters available to make words) from the command line argument passed to your script. For example if your script were called `scrabble_cheater.py`, if you ran `python scrabble_cheater.py RSTLNEI`, `RSTLNEI` would be the rack. |
||
Handle the case where a user forgets to supply a rack; in this case, print an error message saying they need to supply some letters. Make sure you are consistent about capitalization: if your scores dictionary is lowercase, the letters supplied by the user need to be converted to lowercase at some point before you compare them. |
