How to let user select which arg to print
Question: As a way to learn python, I am building Yahtzee.py.

After the first roll, I would like the user to decide what to keep or what to
reroll (up to 3 times).

So as to avoid writing a code for every scenario how can I allow user to
select which dice to reroll. ie( keep die 1 or keep dice 2, 3,5)

Here is the code I have so far:

    
    
        import random
    
    rollCount=1
    roll1 = random.randint(1,6)
    roll2 = random.randint(1,6)
    roll3 = random.randint(1,6)
    roll4 = random.randint(1,6)
    roll5 = random.randint(1,6)
    
    def rollAll():
        roll1
        roll2
        roll3
        roll4
        roll5
    
    
    
    def printAll():
        print("roll 1:",roll1,"\nroll 2:",roll2,"\nroll 3:",roll3,"\nroll 4:",roll4,"\nroll 5:",roll5)
    
    def printRoll():
    
    print("press any key to roll dice")
    input()
    str(printAll())
    print("Would you like to roll again?\nroll all, roll 1, roll 2 , roll 3, roll 4 , roll 5")
    rollAgain = input()
    if rollAgain== "roll all":
        rollCount=2
        rollAll()
        str(printAll())
    


Answer: Welcome to Python! :)

As your post indicates that this is a learning exercise, I will offer advice
for objectives you should try to reach, rather than writing and pasting your
code for you.

Your program needs to remember the roll for each die. One of many mechanisms
for this could be:

    
    
    outcomes = []
    for i in range(0,5):
        outcomes.append(random.randint(1,6))
    

Given the above, you now have programmatic memory of each outcome. Each of the
random.randint() outcomes are now kept in a list, which you can access by
element later in your program, depending on what the user chooses to keep or
reroll. Remember that the user's perception of "die one" is actually element
zero in your list, due to the way indices are numbered.

There are over a dozen ways to approach the remainder of your program, but
this should be a good starter, for you. You could even explore list
comprehensions to improve on the sample I provide, above.
