I’m learning python using the Cory Alhoff’s “Self-taught Programmer”. I’ve gotten to the section of text based programming games and Hangman is used as an example but the code in the book doesn’t print anything when i replicate and run it. i tried goggle only to get more confused. please is there an easier guide out there that i can follow step by step understandably?

Below is the full code in the book;

def hangman():
    word= "caat"
    wrong_guesses =0
    stages=["","_______ ","|  |  ","|  0 ","| /| ","| / ","|  "]
    letters_left= list(word)
    score_board= ['_']*len(word)
    win= false
    print('Welcome to Hang man')
    while wrong_guesses<len(stages)-1:
        print('n')
        guess=input("Guess a letter")
        if guess in letters_left:
            character_index=letters_left.index(guess)
            score_board[character_index]=guess
            letters_left[character_index]='$'
        else:
            wrong_guesses+=1
            print(''.join(score_board))
            print('n'.join(stages[0:wrong_guesses+1]))
        if'_'not in score_board:
            print('You win!The word was:')
            print(''.join(score_board))
            win= True
            break
    if not win:
        print('n'.join(wrong_guesses[0:stage]))
        print('You lose! The words was{}'.formed(word))
    hangman()

def hangman():
    stage=()
    wrong_guesses=["","____","|| ","| () ","| /| ","| / ","|  "]
    word='cat'
    score_board=['_']*len(word)
    win=False
    print('Welcome to Hangman')
    while stage<len(wrong_guesses)-1:
        print('n')
        guess=input("Guess a letter")
        if guess in word:
            score_board[word.index(guess)]=guess
    else:
        stage+=1
    print((''.join(score_board)))
    print('n'.join(wrong_guesses[0:stage+1]))
    if '_'not in score_board:
        print('You win! The word was:')
        print(''>join(score_board))
        win=True
        
    if not win:
        print('n'.join(wrong_guesses[0:stage]))
        print('You lose')
    hangman()
