Question

PYTHON

Modify the program in section

Ask the user for a first name and a last name of several people.

 Use a loop to ask for user input of each person’s first and last names

 Each time through the loop, use a dictionary to store the first and last names of that person

 Add that dictionary to a list to create a master list of the names

 Example dictionary:

aDict = { "fname":"Douglas", "name":"Lee" }

 Example master list, each element in the list is a dictionary:

namesList = [

{ "fname":"Douglas", "lname":"Lee" },

{ "fname":"Neil", "lname": "Armstrong" },

{ "fname":"Buzz", "lname":"Aldrin" },

{ "fname":"Eugene", "lname":"Cernan"},

{ "fname":"Harrison", "lname": "Schmitt"}

]

Pseudocode:

1) Ask for first name

2) Ask for last name

3) Create a dictionary with first name and last name

4) Add that dictionary to the master list object

5) If more names, go to (1)

6) If no more names, print the master list in a visually pleasing manner

Answer 1

# loop till no more names

master_list = []

while(True):

    # ask for first name

    fname = input("Enter first name: ")

    lname = input("Enter last name: ")

    # create dictionary

    name_dict = {"fname": fname, "lname": lname}

    # add to master list

    master_list.append(name_dict)

    # ask for more names

    choice = int(input("Press 1 if no more names: "))

    if choice == 1:

        break

# print master list

print(master_list)
