Code coach — Izzy the Iguana — python — help and guidance.

Question

Hello people. I need help with solving code coach challenge — Izzy The Iguana, using python language.

I have produced this piece of code. However, it's not efficient, too long, and does not consider more words inside an input:

Does anyone has any better solutions with some explanations? If so, I'll be thankful. Thanks

Answer 1

the if len(y) == [number here] is not needed and your whole code can be shorten to this using foreach loop

food = {
"Mango" : 9,
"Lettuce" : 5,
"Carrot" : 4,
"Cheeseburger" : 0}

x = input()
y = x.split(" ")

s = 0
for v in y:
s += food.get(v, 0)

if(s >= 10):
print("Come on Down!")
else:
print("Time to wait")

Answer 2

It is np!

Answer 3

I thought about loops few mins ago. But thanks for the explanation and provision of code. Appreciate it
