python .lower（）无法正常工作

Question

我不知道我在做什么错，但是我的python代码中的.lower（）函数不起作用！

这是一个愚蠢的代码，但不会降低单词的大小写：

score = {"a": 1, "c": 3, "b": 3, "e": 1, "d": 2, "g": 2, 
         "f": 4, "i": 1, "h": 4, "k": 5, "j": 8, "m": 3, 
         "l": 1, "o": 1, "n": 1, "q": 10, "p": 3, "s": 1, 
         "r": 1, "u": 1, "t": 1, "w": 4, "v": 4, "y": 4, 
         "x": 8, "z": 10}

def scrabble_score(word):
    word.lower()
    print word
    total =0
    for i in word:
        total += score[i]
    return total

print scrabble_score('Helix')    

一些帮助？

lower()由于字符串是不可变的，因此您必须将back 的结果分配给word ：

In [152]:

score = {"a": 1, "c": 3, "b": 3, "e": 1, "d": 2, "g": 2, 
         "f": 4, "i": 1, "h": 4, "k": 5, "j": 8, "m": 3, 
         "l": 1, "o": 1, "n": 1, "q": 10, "p": 3, "s": 1, 
         "r": 1, "u": 1, "t": 1, "w": 4, "v": 4, "y": 4, 
         "x": 8, "z": 10}

def scrabble_score(word):
    word = word.lower() #<------ here assign back
    print(word)
    total =0
    for i in word:
        total += score[i]
    return total

print(scrabble_score('Helix'))

helix
15
