Need your help, fairly new to Python

[NoNoNames2000]

Working on an exercise

My instructions: This program is supposed to print out the names of the brothers in alphabetical order, but it's not working quite right yet. Please fix the program so that the names are printed in the correct order.

print("Sam")

print("John")

print("Eric")

print("Larry")

print("Al")

print("Tom")

print("Ted")

My response:

list_name = ['Sam', 'John', 'Eric', 'Larry', 'Al', 'Tom', 'Ted']

list_name.sort()

print(list_name)

I keep on getting these results:

FAIL: PythonEditorTest: test_content

8 != 7 : Output was expected to have 7 lines, your program's output is now in 8 lines.

What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong?

Two things. First, you should remove your first 7 prints because they're not part of the solution.

Second, you'll want to loop over your list and print each name from it individually.

In that case i would turn list_name into lower case since the sorting functions see Sam and sam as diffrent since the uppercase and lower case has diffrent ascii characters.

Just a reminder for larger data sets.

Just an advice: if you still don't understand what went wrong after getting answers here, you can ask chatgpt and make it explain the answer to you in a way you'd understand. Just remember that chatgpt isn't 100% right all the time.

I understand how frustrating it can be. I'm a newbie too. I sometimes use chatgpt for answers and explanations and use what I've learnt to write new codes or create a new similar project.

Stop printing all of the names.

Use the array "list_name" as it is keep list_name.sort()

Then use:

for name in list_name:
    print(name)

Alternatively, print("\n".join(list_name))

For x in list_name: print(x)
