Nested loops, lists and if statements - Liquid_Ocelot - Apr-22-2017
Hey guys I am having a real hard time understanding this question and would just appreciated some clarification on what the instructions are actually asking me to do. I know how to do lists and have a basic understanding of nested loops but executing it is another story
I have to make two class lists, one with Maths students and the other with Computer Science students.
mathStudents = ['Audrey', 'Ben', 'Julia', 'Paul', 'Gerry', 'Sue', 'Helena', 'Harry', 'Marco', 'Rachel', 'Tina', 'Mark', 'Jackson']
csStudents = ['William', 'Aroha', 'Melissa', 'Sue', 'Ben', 'Audrey', 'Susan', 'Mark', 'Hemi', 'Brendan', 'Paul', 'Barry', 'Julia']
I need to use these lists in nested loops to find out which students are enrolled in both classes and count the total number of students.
My output should look like the following:
Student: Audrey is enrolled in both classes
Student: Ben is enrolled in both classes
Student: Julia is enrolled in both classes
Student: Paul is enrolled in both classes
Student: Sue is enrolled in both classes
Student: Mark is enrolled in both classes
6 students are enrolled in Computer Science and Maths

What have you tried? We prefer helping you fix code you have written to writing code for you.

Here's what you need to do:
1. Make a new list called
commonClasses = []2. Loop trough
mathStudents only (because mathStudents and csStudents have the same length).3. inside the loop, check if each student exists in
csStudents by using in keyword.4. Loop trough
commonClasses and print the names in required form.

Yeah I got that.
I just needed a clarification on the instructions that were a bit more clearer but I do appreciate the help nonetheless.

Not sharing my solution but will include sample code related to my solution.
For reference, I used : Understanding nested list comprehension syntax in Python

Hey man I appreciate the help. much clearer now and I'll deff use that reference in future :)

No problem man! Lets learn together!

The moderator just told me not to post code. You should delete it.

I took my code down it doesn't help that you also have a copy of it quoted.
Even though I don't think the code provided is doing the work for him per say.
