hello dear experts
i am currently creating an 'adress book' python where i want to use dictionaries?
the plan:
I'm trying to create an little adress-book that has got an index
the index - think would be apropiate - could be the 'nickname' in the adress-book
I want to give some options:
with the nickname the user can do some savings:
a. save a name of a person, the address of a person and subsequently the phone-number of that person.
well - so far so good: - i want to use use a dictionaries, i want to have such a list. e.g
myList = [["Bill","Butcher", "4433345411"],["Billiboy","2 Rue Rivoli ", "0994399394800838383"]]And then if I wanted to see a certain contact I would just use some more code to search for a pattern.
And then i need to figure out how to do it with a dictionary?
well - i could do some starting points - with the usage of a dictionary:
i could probably start with this:
my_dict = {"Don": {"name": "Donald Jones", "address": "1 Rue Rivoli Paris ", "phone": "9444444411"},
"Joseph": {"name": "Joseph Boy", "address": "3 Tivoli Paris", "phone": "0800838383"}
"Bilbo": {"name": "Bilbo Baggin", "address": "4 White House Washington", "phone": "08055550838383"}
}
But how to get access to the records that i have created: well i can access records using
my_dict["Don"]["name"]or like so
my_dict["Bilbo"]["phone"]by the way: Keys in a Python dictionary tend to be unique. Having a list of contacts in my adressbook the important thing is - there should be no name twice. That saind - we see that i can have the solution like this:
[python]
contacts = {}
contacts['Don'] = ["1 Rue Rivoli", 9444444411]
contacts['Joseph'] = ["3 Tivoli", 0800838383]so adding data to a dictionary is based on the access operator [].
the question is: how to extend the scipt a bit
should i make use of
- raw input
- arg.pop
how would you extend the script!?
what do you say!?
