Hi, is there any way that i can add a loop or iteration or something so that i dont have to write out every person who has fruit. This information is coming from the following json files: *queue.json* file
[ ["James Bruce", "Bananas"], ["Katherine Newton", "Bananas"], ["Deborah Garcia", "Pears"], ["Marguerite Kozlowski", "Pineapples"], ["Kenneth Fitzgerald", "Pineapples"], ["Ronald Crawford", "Bananas"], ["Donald Haar", "Apples"], ["Al Whittenberg", "Bananas"], ["Max Bergevin", "Bananas"], ["Carlos Doby", "Pears"], ["Barry Hayes", "Pineapples"], ["Donald Haar", "Bananas"] ] *stock.json* file { "Apples": 14, "Bananas": 14, "Pineapples": 0, "Pears": 8 } This is what i've done so far: import json #Load the stock and queue files queue=json.load(open("queue.json")) stock=json.load(open("stock.json")) if (stock[queue[0][1]]>0): #in stock print "Gave Bananas to James Bruce" else: print "Could not give Bananas to James Bruce" if (stock[queue[1][1]]>0): #in stock print "Gave Bananas to "+ queue[1][0] else: print "Could not give Bananas to "+ queue[1][0] if (stock[queue[2][1]]>0): #in stock print "Gave Pears to "+ queue[2][0] else: print "Could not give Pears to "+ queue[2][0] if (stock[queue[3][1]]>0): #in stock print "Gave Pineapples to "+ queue[3][0] else: print "Could not give Pineapples to "+ queue[3][0] Thanks Shannon _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
