Right now I have a JSON with a list containing two dictionaries. This code allows the user to search through the list via index number, retrieving a dictionary. Currently I get two printed results one for each dictionary, for example if I typed the index number 1, I get: No Index Number and then dictionary one printed out. Instead of this I would like to get only one result printed either the found dictionary or 1 error. Should I not use enumerate?
Here is my JSON(questions) containing a list of 2 dicts.
[{
"wrong3": "Nope, also wrong",
"question": "Example Question 1",
"wrong1": "Incorrect answer",
"wrong2": "Another wrong one",
"answer": "Correct answer"
}, {
"wrong3": "0",
"question": "How many good Matrix movies are there?",
"wrong1": "2",
"wrong2": "3",
"answer": "1"
}]
Here is my code
f = open('question.txt', 'r')
questions = json.load(f)
f.close()
value = inputSomething('Enter Index number: ')
for index, question_dict in enumerate(questions):
if index == int(value):
print(index, ') ', question_dict['question'],
'\nCorrect:', question_dict['answer'],
'\nIncorrect:', question_dict['wrong1'],
'\nIncorrect:', question_dict['wrong2'],
'\nIncorrect:', question_dict['wrong3'])
break
if not index == int(value):
print('No index exists')
# Use `with` to make sure the file is closed properly
with open('question.txt', 'r') as f:
questions = json.load(f)
value = inputSomething('Enter Index number: ')
queried_index = int(value)
# Since `questions` is a list, why don't you just *index` it with the input value
if 0 <= queried_index < len(questions):
question_dict = questions[queried_index]
# Let `print` take care of the `\n` for you
print(index, ') ', question_dict['question'])
print('Correct:', question_dict['answer'])
print('Incorrect:', question_dict['wrong1'])
print('Incorrect:', question_dict['wrong2'])
print('Incorrect:', question_dict['wrong3'])
else:
print('No index exists')
