CodePudding user response：

The simplest way to update existing data in the array is by getting the index of the employee to update (as you're doing for deletion) and then updating the values for name and department in the respective arrays. Like this, for example:

update = str(input(" Enter id of employee you want to update"))
if update in Emp_id:
    pos = Emp_id.index(update)
    Emp_name[pos] = str(input(" Enter new name"))
    Emp_dep[pos] = str(input(" Enter new department"))

to update employess I have modified your code and added update logic:

Emp_name = []
Emp_id = []
Emp_dep = []
num = 3
for i in range(num):
    x = input("enter the name of employees")
    Emp_name.append(x)

    i = input("enter the id of employees")
    Emp_id.append(i)

    d = input("enter the department of employees")
    Emp_dep.append(d)

#UPDATING employee

id = str(input(" Enter the id of employee you need to update"))
if id in Emp_id:
    pos = Emp_id.index(id)
    Emp_name[pos] = input("enter new name : ")
    Emp_id[pos] = input("enter new id : ")
    Emp_dep[pos] = input("enter new department : ")

print(Emp_name)
print(Emp_id)
print(Emp_dep)

Use a class of Employee type and create objects of it . It will help you to manage employees much efficiently.

class Employee:
    def __init__(self, name="", id="", dept=""):
        self.name = name
        self.id = id
        self.dept = dept

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name   " "   self.id   " "   self.dept


employees = list()

num = 3

for i in range(num):
    name = input("enter the name of employees : ")
    id = input("enter the id of employees : ")
    dept = input("enter the department of employees : ")

    emp = Employee(name, id, dept)
    employees.append(emp)

for e in employees:
    print(e)

delete = input(" Enter the name of employee you need to delete : ")

for index, emp in enumerate(employees):
    if emp.name == delete:
        employees.pop(index)
        break

for e in employees:
    print(e)

Output:
