Allow the user to input the list position of the word to RETURN to 2nd and 3rd element from the list

Question

I need someone to help me code this WITHOUT using external libraries panda imports exceptions counters

lineList = [['Cat', 'c', 1, x],['Cat', 'a', 2, x],['Cat', 't', 3, x],['Bat', 'b', 1, 3],['Bat', 'b', 1, 2],['Mat', 'm', 1, 1],['Fat', 'f', 1, 13]]

Words from 2D list that appear more than 2 times are displayed in a numerical list

Eg:

1. Cat
2. Bat

How can I allow the user to select a word by inputting the list position number? So for example if the user enters 1 it will return the second and third elements for Cat in the nested list:

c = 1, a = 2, t = 3

I am a beginner to Python so not sure how to approach this.

Answer 1

You can use str.join, str.format, enumerate, and a generator expression:

word_counts = [['Cat', 2], ['Bat', 3], ['Fat', 1], ['Mat', 1]]

filtered = [p for p in word_counts if p[1] > 1]

print('\n'.join('{0}. {1}'.format(i, p[0]) for i, p in enumerate(filtered, 1)))

Output:

1. Cat
2. Bat

For a string in a specific position:

n = int(input('position: '))   #   1-indexed

print('{0}. {1}'.format(n, filtered[n - 1][0]))   #   0-indexed (hence, n - 1)
