So I am writing a code for an address book. I have a function that searches for a nickname of a person then prints their details if the nickname is in the list but I only getting the "contact does not exist" every time I run this Please help! also P.S does anyone have any good resources on turning lists into dictionaries? Cheers
import sys
Numbers=[]
Names=[]
nicknames=[]
address=[]
def addcontact():
print ("-------------")
print ("Adding a Contact\n-------------")
name = input("Enter first and last name :").lower
Names.append(name)
nickname = input("Enter the nickname").lower
nicknames.append(nickname)
number = input("Enter number :")
Numbers.append(number)
Addres = input("Enter the address").lower
address.append(Addres)
print("***Contact added succesfully***")
menu()
def searchcontact():
print ("\nSearch Contact by Nickname\n--------------------")
nick = input("Please enter the nicnkname")
if nick in nicknames:
print ("The Contacts are listed Below")
print ("-----------------------------")
index = nicknames.index(nick)
print ("\n", nicknames[index])
print ("\n",Names[index])
print ("\n",address[index])
print ("\n", Numbers[index])
elif nick not in nicknames:
print ("\nThis Contact Does Not Exist!!\n----------------------\n")
menu()
def showcontact():
for i in range(len(Names)):
print (str(Names[i]) + "........"+ str(Numbers[i]))
#print Names
#print Numbers
print ("--------------------")
def quit():
print("Exiting....")
sys.exit
def menu():
print ("---------------------------------------")
print ("***Welcome to the Python address book***\n"+
"\n----------------------------------------"+
"\n| 1 | To Add Contact"+
"\n| 2 | To search for the Contact by nickname\n| 3 | To list all contacts in the address book\n| 4 | To quit\n"+
"----------------------------------------\n>")
menu()
while True:
selection = input("Please Select:")
if selection =='1':
addcontact()
elif selection =='2': searchcontact()
elif selection =='3': showcontact()
elif selection == '4': quit()
else:
print ("Unknown Command")
