Need help (easy python task) - Gameh3x - Feb 20, 2016

Hey, I really need some help. Can someone send me a code that asks the user for his/her name and prints out each letter of the name separately?
It's for my python class, I was sick for like 2 weeks straight and now I can't do shit 🤝

"prints out each letter of the name separately?"

What do you mean by this?

And I offer Java/Python services, feel free to contact me on Skype @ Eclips3.HF

I'm not sure but lets say it asks for your name, you type in "Tom" and it prints T, O, M like this [Image: Nb9KrY5.png]

but with using a cycle and not typing out "print" all the time. I'm bad at english, i dont know if you got me 😵

I'm not on my computer right now, but you'll need a loop like this.

PHP Code 


<?php 
i=0
while i < len(text):
    print text[i]
    i += 1

I'm guessing you mean that it prints each letter on a new line?

You can just tack on '\n' after each letter when printing in a for-loop.

PHP Code 


<?php 
print [x for x in "b3mb4m"]

Code 
name = str(input("Name :"))

for elt in name :

     print(elt)

Can also be done in 2 lines but who cares...

This is 100% what you need, easiest and cleanest way of doing it.

haha not really. That's just going to print out a list. The easiest you can do is:

PHP Code 


<?php 
print('\n'.join(list("YourNamehere"))) 

That'll at least work in python 2/3

Why have a counter? Even if you wanted to use a loop, you can just do:

PHP Code 


<?php 
for letter in "YourNameHere":
    print(letter)

For the sake of 2 lines of code you may as well just tried to do it yourself, anyone that gave you the answer in this thread didn't actually help you.

I can help you with this, I am a Computer Engineering student.. Just PM me if you want...

* - EwilDave - Feb 27, 2016

For completion's sake, there's a one-line way of writing this:

Code 
[print(letter) for letter in input("Username: ")]

A breakdown of what the code is doing:
This process is called list comprehension as we iterate through a list(Your username is a list of characters/letters) - each of these is printed one after another.
