I try to create an ai game, how can I print chosen objects or function's name only before the '_'? For example:

players = [random_player, ai_player]
player_number= input('Determine first player Random(0) or AI(1):')
player_number2= input('Determine second player Random (0) or AI (1):')
player_array=[players[int(player_number)], players[int(player_number2)]]

# this is the wrong format I know.
print(' The game begins with {0} vs {1}'.format((player_array[0]), (player_array[1]))

output must be like that :

The game begins with random vs ai

Did you try `split("_")`? – DYZ Mar 18 '18 at 22:48
Do you mean should I create an array ['random', 'player', 'ai', 'player'] ? – Vural Erdogan Mar 18 '18 at 22:49

More specificially, `"random_player".split("_")[0]` will give you what you are looking for. [example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/743806/how-to-split-a-string-into-a-list) – patrick Mar 18 '18 at 22:49
But this is an object so does it make difference? – Vural Erdogan Mar 18 '18 at 22:50

well you never said it was an object / not in your code – patrick Mar 18 '18 at 22:51
And I do not know which is will be called? so I cannot use 'random_player' as a code – Vural Erdogan Mar 18 '18 at 22:51

Does `random_player` have its own `__str__` or `__repr__` method? If so, modify it to report the name without the second part. If not, add one of those methods. – DYZ Mar 18 '18 at 22:52
