Question

python program

You are going to write a program that takes two inputs: A string representing a list of names of the following form: first name 1, last name 1, (nick name 1); first name 2, last name 2, (nick name 2); ... A string representing part of or the complete family name. You are going to output all nick names for those names where there is a partial or complete match of the family name. If no match was found you should output: Not found! Here a few examples.

Names: Chun Kit, Chui (Kit gor); Dirk, Schnieders (Dirk); Jun-fan, Lee (Bruce); Rowan Sebastian, Atkinson (Bean)

Family name: Schni

Dirk

Answer 1

import re
#function matching family names
def checkName(supernames,familyname) :
   c=0
   for i in range(4):
       if (supernames[i][1].find(familyname) == -1): #checking family name matched or not
           pass
       else:
           c=c+1
           print(supernames[i][2])   #printing matched nick name
   if(c==0):
       print("No match")   #if no family names matched

#main program
supernames=[]
for i in range(4):
   name=input("Enter first name ,last name ,(nick name) :")  
   date=re.split(', | \(|\)|; ',name)   #regular expression for taking provided fomat input
   date.pop()
   supernames.append(date)   #for list in lists
familyname=input("Family name : ")   #taking family name for family
checkName(supernames,familyname)
