I have a list of apple and pear products and I want to print on the screen how many apples there are by if but only print the "no apples". Where is the error and how can I fix it?
This is my code:
p = ["manzana_00", "manzana_01", "manzana_02",
"pera_00", "pera_01", "pera_03"]
for i in p:
if i == "manzana_*":
print i + " es manzana"
else:
print "nada hay manzanas"
The problem is that as you are doing the comparison now, you are looking for the string i to be exactly equal to "manzana_ *" which is not true for any element in the list. What you could do is check if the item in the list contains the string "apple_" using in .
That would be done in the following way:
p = ["manzana_00", "manzana_01", "manzana_02",
"pera_00", "pera_01", "pera_03"]
for i in p:
if "manzana_" in i:
print i + " es manzana"
else:
print "nada hay manzanas"
And now the result you would get is the following:
apple_00 is apple
apple_01 is apple
manzana_02 is apple
there are no apples
there are no apples
there are no apples
You can see how it works in this Python Fiddl e.
