Question

python

Implement function get_contact(contacts, name) that returns a string. The contacts and the name parameter are both type string. This function checks for the name string in the contacts string and returns that person's contact information. If the person is not found, the function returns, "name not in contact". Assume input is always valid. Assume the same name is not repeated in contacts. [You may use split(), range(), len() ONLY and no other built-in function or method] Examples: contacts = "Frank 703-222-2222 Sue 703-111-1111 Jane 703-333-3333" name = "Sue" print(get_contact(contacts, name)) returns: 703-111-1111 name = "Sam" print(get_contact(contacts, name)) returns: name not in contact

Answer 1

#can also take input from user​
contacts = "Frank 703-222-2222 Sue 703-111-1111 Jane 703-333-3333"
name1 = "Sue"
name2 = "Sam"

#function
def get_contact(contacts, name):
 #making list
 d = contacts.split()

 for i in range(0,len(d),2):
  #check if name matches
  if d[i]==name:
   return d[i+1]

 #if not found in list
 return "name not in contact"

print(get_contact(contacts,name1))
print(get_contact(contacts,name2))

len(x) : Get length of variable x

split(): split string, by default split on space else we can specify as argument

range(beg,end,increment): Its a range start from beg with following Jump of increment till end-1
