Exercise 2: Health System

Your Task

In games, player health goes up (healing) or down (damage) — but it can never go below 0 or above a maximum.

Write a function update_health(health, change, max_hp) that:

• Takes the current health, the change (positive = heal, negative = damage), and the max health
• Returns the new health
• Health can't go below 0 or above max_hp

Starter Code

def update_health(health, change, max_hp):
    # Your code here
    pass

# Test your function:
print(update_health(50, 20, 100))    # Should print: 70
print(update_health(50, -30, 100))   # Should print: 20
print(update_health(90, 30, 100))    # Should print: 100  (capped!)
print(update_health(10, -50, 100))   # Should print: 0    (can't go negative!)

Hints

new_health = health + change
if new_health > max_hp:
    new_health = max_hp
if new_health < 0:
    new_health = 0
return new_health

def update_health(health, change, max_hp):
    new_health = health + change
    if new_health > max_hp:
        new_health = max_hp
    if new_health < 0:
        new_health = 0
    return new_health
