How can I make this code more elegant?

Question

Hi everyone! This is my code for a “ Vending machine” exercise. As you may notice it is a bit long. It works fine, taking a number as an input and returning a name of the fruits as an output.

The question is how can I get the same result using less rows of a code? Any options of loops or something like iteration through a list?

Thank you in advance for your comments!

Cheers

Answer 1

fruits = ["apple", "cherry", "banana", "kiwi", "lemon", "pear", "peach", "avocado"]
num = int(input())

#your code goes here
if 0 <= num <= 7:
print(fruits[num])
else:
print("Wrong number")

Answer 2

fruits = ["apple", "cherry", "banana", "kiwi", "lemon", "pear", "peach", "avocado"]
num = int(input())

try:
print(fruits[num])
except:
print("Wrong number")

Answer 3

fruits = ["apple", "cherry", "banana", "kiwi", "lemon", "pear", "peach", "avocado"]

num = int(input())

print fruits[num] if num < len(fruits) else "Wrong number"

Answer 4

Mladen Just don’t forget parentheses when you call functions in Python 3:

print(fruits[num] if num < len(fruits) else "Wrong number")

Answer 5

fruits = ["apple", "cherry", "banana", "kiwi", "lemon", "pear", "peach", "avocado"]

try:
print(fruits[int(input('Enter Choice: '))])
except:
print("Wrong number")
