def findFirstREMOVEDe(string, name):
new=string.split()
index=0
for n in new[:]:
if n<>name:
index=index+1
if n==name:
print new[int(index-1):int(index)]
| Getting there. The split() function reqires input. What do you think you would want to split on to separate all the words? Also, your function will look through all the names. What if one person's first name is the same as someone else's last name? So you only want to search through the last names. REMOVEDw do you search only every other item in a list (hint range)? Keep working on it. Student1594 |
def findFirstREMOVEDe(string,lastname):
names=string.split(" ")
for names in range(0,len(names),2):
place=1
if names == lastname:
firstname= place-1
print firstname
place=place+2
print names[firstname]
why doesn't this work?
wouldn't 0 in the range function be the first term?
def findFirstREMOVEDe(string,lastname):
names=string.split(" ")
for index in range(1,len(names),2):
if lastname == names[index]:
print names[index - 1]
that works....yay!
