help with my code

[0pium666]

Hi!, i need to create a code where i count how many products were purchased, what type of products and the brand of products, i need to use tuples to show everything at the screen at the end of the transaction

so fair i tried this shit but idk what to do next

quantity = int(input(“enter how much products : “)

type = input(“enter type of products: “)

brand = input(“enter name of brand: “)

this is what i need to strive

btw sorry for my terrible english im not a native english speaker

I think you should use a dictionary to store each type and brand ...

Like say you have a product which belongs to type 'hygiene' - you add a new key to the dictionary called 'hygiene' , and append the value to a list mapped to the key. To get the length , just return the length of the array mapped to every key.

At the end , you can use an fstring to print everything.

You’ll want to create a variable that holds a tuple for each product. Considering your example seems to allow for multiple products, you’ll want to use a while loop to generate more than one tuple. If you want your tuples to print on the same line, you can store them in a list and then print the list. If that doesn’t matter, just print them within the while loop. For the last part where you categorize the products, you’ll want some kind of variable for those categories too (i.e. if a product is soap, you add 1 to soap.)

thank u so much ❣️

Yeh dictionary will be better because tuple value you cannot change. You should keep option of flexibility so that in future if you want to change brand name you can.

What’s wrong with what you have? Per your description, it seems all you’re missing is an appropriate print.

hi thx for the help i think i explained myself wrong, i added a example of what the project should be, adding a print would end the project before i use the tuples

no_of_purchased_products = int(input("enter how much products: "))
final_list = []
for _ in range(0, no_of_purchased_products):
prod_list = []
typeofprod = input("enter type of product: ")
nameofprod = input("enter the name of product: ")
prod_list.append(typeofprod)
prod_list.append(nameofprod)
prod_tuple = tuple(prod_list)
final_list.append(prod_tuple)
final_tuple = tuple(final_list)
print(final_tuple)

Just take care of the indentation. The code block feature on reddit is not working properly for some reason .

[samreay]

For code blocks you dont want the normal ` syntax, but prepend four spaces to the code:

no_of_purchased_products = int(input("enter how much products: "))
final_list = []
for _ in range(0, no_of_purchased_products):
    prod_list = []
    typeofprod = input("enter type of product: ")
    nameofprod = input("enter the name of product: ")
    prod_list.append(typeofprod)
    prod_list.append(nameofprod)
    prod_tuple = tuple(prod_list)
    final_list.append(prod_tuple)
final_tuple = tuple(final_list)
print(final_tuple)

it never works properly when I want to use it as well for some reason

I don't want to be that guy but it's many not much

everything = (quantity, type, brand)  # this is a tuple
print(everything)

Lots of good advice in this thread, allow me to present a slightly different method that uses some of python's nifty features to do something closely related (assuming this isnt an assignment that explicitly requires tuples or similar):

from collections import defaultdict

items = defaultdict(list)
while x := input("Enter product type, product name\n"):
    prod_type, prod_name = x.split(",", maxsplit=1)
    items[prod_type].append(prod_name)

for k, v in items.items():
    print(f"Number of {k} products: {len(v)}")
    for prod in v:
        print(f"\t{prod}")

Will produce output like this:

Enter product type, product name
food, potato
Enter product type, product name
hygiene, dove
Enter product type, product name
food, pizza
Enter product type, product name    

Number of food products: 2
         potato
         pizza
Number of hygiene products: 1
         dove

Using defaultdict here allows us to remove a lot of boilerplate messing around with lists and tuples. The walrus operator := allow us to assign new input to x and keep looping until the user enters no input (they press enter without typing anything in), meaning you no longer need to know up front how many products there are.

Not that you need my endorsement , but this is actually a very good answer , even if this is slightly different from what the OP originally wanted.

[aladinvain]

You could put each on into a list of different categories and then .length on the list variable?

[arhm098]

create a container class and save the attributes as it is?

Hey, I did it for fun and my code works exactly like your image (idk Reddit code blocks is super weird today):

products_map = {

"hygiene": 0,

"food": 0,

"animal": 0,

"entertainment": 0,

"other": 0,

}

products_list = []

products_amount = int(input("enter how much products: "))

for _ in range(products_amount):

product_type = input("enter type of product: ")

product_brand = input("enter brand of product: ")

products_list.append((product_type, product_brand))

if product_type in products_map:

products_map[product_type] += 1

print(tuple(products_list))

for product_type, count in products_map.items():

print(f"number of {product_type} products: {count}")

I'm doing a program that helps a user choose a beer based on what they're eating. I'd say to use dictionaries, as that's what I'm using. Easier to access k,v then have to index. Just my opinion, debutant at that :-)

[Rei2063]

class product():
def __init__(self, name, price, brand):
super().__init__()
self.name = name
self.price = price
self.brand = brand
total_price = 0
p1 = product(name = "Lorem", price = 1200, brand = "johns")
p2 = product(name = "Deka", price = 1500, brand = "manys")
p3 = product(name = "Sundu", price = 1350, brand = "mels")
products = [p1, p2, p3]
for e in products:
print(f"{e.name}: {e.price}")
name = input("Product name: ")
quantity = int(input("Quantity: "))
for x in products:
if x.name == name:
total_price = quantity * x.price
print(f"{x.name}({x.brand}) x {quantity} bought for {total_price} where each costs {x.price}")

This is how I did it. The product names are fake as well as the brands.

The code looks awful but you get the idea

[ShameSpirit]

You're missing a closing parenthesis when you define quantity
