* Features of the Code:

Registration:
o Ensures the username is at least 6 characters long.
o Ensures the password meets security criteria.
o Checks if the username already exists before registering.
Login:

o Validates the username and password against stored accounts.

o Allows retrying login if credentials are incorrect.
Menu System:
o Allows users to register, log in, or exit.
o Prevents login attempts if no accounts are registered.

Exercises 2
Hangman Game

* Description:
In this exercise, we'll write a Python program that allows users to play the classic hangman
game.
* Task Details:
1. The program will choose a random word from a predefined list of words.
2. It will display a series of dashes representing the letters in the chosen word.
3. The player will have a limited number of attempts to guess the letters in the word.
4. After each guess, the program will reveal any correctly guessed letters and update the
display.
5. The game will continue until the player either guesses the word correctly or runs out of
attempts.

Exercises 2
import random

def choose_word():
words = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "orange", "pear", "grape", "kiwi"]
return [Link](words)

def display_word(word, guessed_letters):

display = "“
...
return [Link]()

def hangman():
word = choose_word()
guessed_letters = []
attempts = 6

print("Welcome to Hangman!")
print("Try to guess the word.")

while attempts > 0:

...
if attempts == 0:
print("\nSorry, you've run out of attempts. The word was:", word)
