Hi Shannon,
Yes there is a way. First in my opinion I think queue.json is not really a JSON
data structure but just a list of list. If you are able to read it then I
that’s great.
One way to solve this is doing something like below:
queue = [
["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 = {"Apples": 14,
"Bananas": 14,
"Pineapples": 0,
"Pears": 8}
for i in queue:
if stock[i[1]] > 0 :
print("Gave {} to {}".format(i[1],i[0]))
else:
print("Could not give {} to {}".format(i[1],i[0]))
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Subject: [Tutor] Help with loops
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
