Question

Hi people! I am doing a Python practice using Tuples.

You are given a list of contacts, where each contact is represented by a tuple, with the name and age of the contact.  Complete the program to get a string as input, find the name in the contact list and get its age in the format presented below:

Example entry: "John".

Output example: John is 31

This is the final algorithm I have made.

contacts = [

    ('James', 42),

    ('Amy', 24),

    ('John', 31),

    ('Amanda', 63),

    ('Bob', 18)

]

name = input()

found = False 

for i in contacts:

   if(name == i[0]):

      print(name, " is",  i[1])

      found = True 

      break 

if(not found ):

   print("Not Found")

Everything seems to be in order, but when I run the tests I get errors in some test cases.

The funny thing is that the error messages report: 

Entry: Amanda

Your result: Amanda is 63

Expected result: Amanda is 63

Any idea?

Answer 1

Javier the print statement outputs a space between arguments that are separated by a comma. The middle string, " is", has a leading space. That causes two spaces to be printed between name and the word "is".

Thanks bud!, problem solved.
