Problem J1: Tournament Selection

Each player in a tournament plays six games. There are no ties. The tournament director places the players in groups based on the results of games as follows:

• if a player wins 5 or 6 games, they are placed in Group 1;
• if a player wins 3 or 4 games, they are placed in Group 2;
• if a player wins 1 or 2 games, they are placed in Group 3;
• if a player does not win any games, they are eliminated from the tournament.

Write a program to determine which group a player is placed in.

Input Format

The input consists of six lines, each with one of two possible letters: W (to indicate a win) or L (to indicate a loss).

Output Format

The output will be either 1, 2, 3 (to indicate which Group the player should be placed in) or -1 (to indicate the player has been eliminated).

Please fix :(

Test Data Still has carriage returns

My code works on windows cmd but doesn't work on peg?

Sorry, the test data (improperly) includes carriage returns. Please strip your input strings. I'll fix the test data soon.

whats wrong with my code

Something weird with python comparing strings. 
Just compare the first character of the string. 
Or use c++ like we taught you.

You should always strip your input from carriage returns and the likes when using Python

thanks, i added .strip() to the end of my input!

Hey everyone, I made a poll to get rough estimates of CCOQR results. [url]http://www.strawpoll.me/7032630[/url]

the judge thinks -1 is a wrong answer

BRUH, think about trailing spaces ;) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
