How to read tuple in list (Python)

Question

How can I solve the problem?
In the tuple is a dictonary. How I can reach the number of a value?

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

x = input()

print(x, "is", [(x)])

Answer 1

Andreas Heil ,

what we have here is a *list* (named contacts) that contains 5 *tuples*. (no dictionary)

> to get the tuples and its content, we need to iterate over the list.

> when using a for lopp, we get *one tuple at a time* in a variable.

> to get the content of the tuple, we can use the index notation. using index [0] gets the name, index [1] gets the age.

Answer 2

@Andreas Heil ,

that looks great!

Answer 3

iterate the list. on esch iteration, check if name is the one you are looking for.

Answer 4

Thank you both for your help.
Now it works.

contacts = [

('James', 42),

('Amy', 24),

('John', 31),

('Amanda', 63),

('Bob', 18)

]

name = input()

for x in contacts:

if name in x:
print(str(x[0]) +" is " + str(x[1]))
break

else:
print("Not Found")
