Question

Write a program to input the names of n students and store them in a tuple. Also, input a name from the user and find if this student is present in the tuple or not. We can accomplish these by:

writing a user-defined function

Answer 1

Program:
#Program to input names of n students and store them in a tuple.
#Input a name from the user and find if this student is present in the tuple or not.
#Using a user-defined function

#Creating user defined function
def searchStudent(tuple1,search):
    for a in tuple1:
        if(a == search):
            print("The name",search,"is present in the tuple")
            return
    print("The name",search,"is not found in the tuple")

name = tuple()
#Create empty tuple 'name' to store the values
n = int(input("How many names do you want to enter?: "))
for i in range(0,n):
    num = input("> ")
    #It will assign emailid entered by user to tuple 'name'
    name = name + (num,)

print("\nThe names entered in the tuple are:")
print(name)

#Asking the user to enter the name of the student to search
search = input("\nEnter the name of the student you want to search? ")
#Calling the search Student function
searchStudent(name,search)

OUTPUT:
How many names do you want to enter?: 3
> Amit
> Sarthak
> Rajesh

The names entered in the tuple are:
('Amit', 'Sarthak', 'Rajesh')

Enter the name of the student you want to search for. Amit
The name Amit is present in the tuple
