I use a dictionary:
phone = {'mike':10,'sue':8,'john':3}
Of course in the real world using given name as a unique key is
ludicrous: 'mike' is a.k.a. 'michael' (or 'mikhail' or 'michele' (which
may be a typo for 'michelle')), and if there's only one 'sue' in your
little black book you need to get out more :-)
Maybe they're the names of his children... ;-)
Of course, one could have multiple children with the
same name under any or all of the following conditions:
1. insanity (perhaps of the parents or the children?)
2. remarriage (i.e. step-children)
3. sheer forgetfulness
4. laziness ("meet Brian, Brian, and Brian")
This last is the closest I can come to making this post
on-topic... sorry! :-)
