I am have a list as shown
Employees=['Harry Grapes','Marg Plum','Monica Nguyen']
I would like to create a selection feature that allows the user to select the Employee on a menu.
Something like:

Please select the employee

1. Harry
2. Marg
3. Monica

If they type 1 it selects Harry from the list.
Atm I just cycle through all the employees with a for loop.
for CurrentEmployee in range(3):

CodePudding user response：

you can use enumerate:

Employees=['Harry Grapes', 'Marg Plum', 'Monica Nguyen']

for pos, employee in enumerate(Employees):
    # i starts from 0
    print(f"{str(i 1)}. {j.split()[0]}")
    
choice = int(input('Choose from options: '))

print('You chose '   a[choice-1])

Hope you got your answer, pls upvote as its my first answer.

CodePudding user response：

you can store the name elements to dictionary and get the data from the user to print the name.

Employees = ['Harry Grapes', 'Marg Plum', 'Monica Nguyen']

names = []
for i in Employees:
    names.append(i.split()[0]) # take first word of each element
names_dict = {}
for index, word in enumerate(names, start=1):
    names_dict[index] = word  # store index and the elements in dict
print(names_dict)
user = int(input('enter the number:'))
print(names_dict.get(user))
