Answer 1

# simple fix:

contacts = [
('James', 42), ('Amy',24),
('John', 31), ('Amanda', 63), ('Bob', 18)
]

def search(name):
c = { n[0] : n[1] for n in contacts }
if name in c:
print(name,"is",c[name])
else:
print("Not found")

search(input(""))

# anyway, you could do better (by just iterating the tuple list)

Learn the basics of how to work with dictionary and lists in python ,only then move on to solve such problems :)

You can make use of filter function to get a tuple from list which contains valid name. After you have that tuple , print the age from it.

def search(name):
b=list(filter(lambda x:x if name in x else 0,contacts))
if b:
print(name + " is " + str(b[0][1]))
else:
print("Not found")

search(input(""))

Iterating with for loops is easier

for tup in contacts:
for i in tup:
if input in i:
#the rest of your code
