Beginner problem, replace function with for loop

[buran]

to get total score, print just once at the end

aliens = ['red', 'red', 'red', 'red', 'red', 'blue', 'blue', 'blue', 'green', 'green']
current_score = 0
 
for alien in aliens:
    if alien == 'red':
        current_score = current_score + 5
    elif alien == 'blue':
        current_score += 10 # this is alternative, same as current_score = current_score + 10
    elif alien == 'green':
        current_score += 20
print(f'Total score: {current_score}') # this is using f-string that require python 3.6+

That said, normally one will use dict instead of huge if/elif/else block (look at @DeaD_EyE example) or read https://python-forum.io/Thread-if-struct...dictionary
