While working on lists and dictionaries

1. exchange elements between lists

# at first create two lists
unconfirmed_users = ['bob', 'lucas', 'jane']
confirmed_users = []
# verify every user and store confirmed one in corresponding list until everyone gets verified
while unconfirmed_users:
    current_user = unconfirmed_users.pop()
    print("Verifying user: " + current_user.title())
    confirmed_users.append(current_user)
# show all the verified users
print("\nThe following users have been confirmed:")
for confirmed_user in confirmed_users:
    print(confirmed_user.title())
>
Verifying user: Jane
Verifying user: Lucas
Verifying user: Bob

The following users have been confirmed:
Jane
Lucas
Bob

just transient variable exchange stuff:

while unconfirmed_users:
    current_user = unconfirmed_users.pop()
    print("Verifying user: " + current_user.title())
    confirmed_users.append(current_user)

2.delete all specific values in a list

we’ve learned using ‘remove’ to delete a specific value in a list, but it could only delete one instead of multiple of them.

pets = ['dog', 'cat', 'dog', 'goldfish', 'cat', 'rabbit', 'cat']
print(pets)
while 'cat' in pets:
    pets.remove('cat')
print(pets)

just use ‘while’ to delete one certain value many times to clear all of them out.

3.Full dictionaries with users’ input
⚠️ all important

# first creat an empty dictionary so that we can add key-value pairs
responses = {}
# set up a sign to decide whether this investigation should continue
polling_active = True

while polling_active:
    # prompt user to input
    name = input("\nWhat is your name ? ")
    response = input("\nWhich mountain do you love most ?")
    # stash key-value pairs in dictionary (name--key,response--value)
    responses[name] = response
    # see if there is anyone else who wants to participate in
    repeat = input("Would you be part of it ?")
    if repeat == "no":
        polling_active = False
# investigation done and show the result
print("\n--- Roll Results ---")
for name, response in responses.items():
    print(name + "\'s favorite mountain is " + response)
>
What is your name ? Skyler

Which mountain do you love most ?Himalayan
Would you be part of it ?yes

What is your name ? John
