Hello Knowledge Is Power

Your code works fine. I'm not sure if I understand you but

if n in student_data:
-> this is your searching step. There is no need to use a loop.

If you don't want if else statement then you can also use get function of dictionary

student_data = {'AJ' : 32, 'Anant' : 30}

n = input()

print (student_data.get(n, 'not found'))
