Answer 1

Without knowing the original task I would solve this with a dictionary, because this is much easier and shorter than using a for-loop.

My approach you can see in the attached file:

Answer 2

What is the task description for this code you search for?

Answer 3

a bit late, but for the sake of completeness i have picked thd task description:

the task is an exercise from `python developer`, `collection types`, `practice tuples`.

task description:

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, search for the name in the list of contacts and output the age of the contact in the format presented below:

Sample Input

John

Sample Output John is 31

If the contact is not found, the program should output "Not Found".

please do not spam here. your post has no relation to the topic, and the code seems to be copied from someone else

Answer 6

The code has an array containing names and ages stored as tuples in the array, it takes a key from the user and declares a boolean called found to False and uses a for loop to check if the name entered by the user is in the array, if it is found it prints the name and corresponding age and found to True and breaks out of the loop. If at the end of the loop the key is not found then the program prints Not found
