STJLOL-DMU-for loops - Search

forloopsearch.py

#This program accepts an input from the user and then searches through a list to see if there is a match.
#It then counts how many matches there are.


bag = ["raspberry", "pokeball", "pokeball", "pokeball", "great ball", "potion"] #This is the list of items in the bag

print (bag) #Prints the contents of the bag

count = 0 #starts the count at 0

while True:
    search = input("Search for what?")

    for item in bag: #starts going through list, checking if each item = pokeball
     if item == search: #checks if the item matches a pokeball
       print("Hey I found a "+ search) #prints only if the item = the user's search input
       count = count + 1    #As the item matched, this increases the count by one
       print (count)        #prints the count so you can see it count
     else:
       print("What's this? Nope, not a "+search)  # If item is not equal to search, prints not a whatever you searched
       print("looks more like a " + item)  #prints the name of the item the for loop is currently kooking at

    print("I found %d in total." % count)  #when the for loop is finished, this prints the final count
    count = 0 #resets the count so you can search again
