creating a menu from user input-CodePudding

so iv been trying to write a code that works like a menu creating program that :

1# take the input from user to define the number of products and there names

2# assign prices separately after taking products names from user

3# display the menu after its done

am a beginner in coding and python language this is how my code is looking after many tries and researches

def functions():
maxlengh = input("how many products in your card ? : ")
maxlengh = int(maxlengh)
select_function = input("press 1 to add product names to the menu or 2 to assign prises : ")
select_function = int(select_function)
products = []
while select_function == 1 and len(products) != maxlengh :
    items = input("enter product name : ")
    items= items.split()
    products.append(items)
if len(products) == maxlengh :
    select_function == 2
    prise = []
    while select_function ==2 and len(prise) != maxlengh :
        items = input("enter product prise : ")
        items = items.split()
        prise.append(items)
    menu = dict(zip(products,prise))
    print(menu  )

Here try this: in Python, indents are very important, and some of yours were a little off. this should work. good luck!

    max_length = int(input("how many products in your card ? : "))
    select_function = input("press 1 to add product names to the menu or 2 to assign prices : ")
    select_function = int(select_function)
    products = []
    while select_function == 1 and len(products) != max_length :
        items = input("enter product name : ")
        items = items.split()
        products.append(items)
        if len(products) == max_length :
            select_function == 2
            price = []
            while select_function ==2 and len(price) != max_length :
                items = input("enter product price : ")
                items = items.split()
                price.append(items)
    menu = dict(zip(products,price))
    print(menu)

you can use

dic her is your code:

def functions():
    maxlengh = int(input("how many products in your card ? : "))
    products = [] #[{name:"name",price:"price",}]
   for num in range(maxlengh):
        product_name=input("inter product name: ")
        product_price=input("inter product price: ")
        product={"name":product_name,"price":product_price}
        products.append(product)
    print(products)
    return  products

functions()
