If anyone explain this code step by step i will be very grateful

Question

contacts = [
('James', 42),
('Amy', 24),
('John', 31),
('Amanda', 63),
('Bob', 18)
]
name=input()
for x in contacts :
if name in x:
print(name + " is " +str(x[1]))
break
else:
print("Not found")

Answer 1

Because x HAS to contain "name" before that block is even executed. It's in an if-statement, so it will only run once the tuple for that name has been found and the tuple only have 1 name each.

Answer 2

This is the pseudocode I came up with from looking at the code:

//You have a list of tuples that contain names and ages

//You take a name from the user

//For each tuple (represented by x) in the contacts list,
• if a the name the user input is present within the list: output the name in a format of "[name] is [age]" and then break the loop.
• if the name is NOT present in the loop, you will output to the user "Not found"

Answer 3

It's okay, me too! That's why we are here to help! If it makes you feel better, I didn't understand what a function was and how it worked after I was using them for about 4 months. 😅

Answer 4

Thank you, sometimes I have difficulties in comprehending the most basic concepts

Answer 5

A block of code that can be used multiple times to produce a certain output. But I'm still a beginner so don't take my word for to much! 😂 I do have on my profile that I have no idea what I'm doing LOL.

Answer 6

Yes but How str(x[1]) will returns the age of corresponding name!!?? Why not of any other tuples?

Answer 7

Now what exactly is a function😂

Answer 8

Well surely your doing better than me😅
