getting string of a variable as an output

February 27, 2022

how can I get my output to be the string of a name variable, if the input is equal to the name variable, I want the string of the variable to print. Thanks in advance.

    a = 'My name'
    b = 2
    c = 3
    print('input any alphabet of your choice below:')
    print('Enter your name below')
    print('input below')
    running = True
    while running:
      if user_input == a:
         print('This is:', a)
         running = False
      else:
         print('wrong input')

>Solution :

Use a dictionary instead of named variables, so that you can use the input as a key in the dictionary:

my_vars = {
    'a': 'My name',
    'b': 2,
    'c': 3,
}

while True:
    try:
        print(f"This is: {my_vars[input()]}")
        break
    except KeyError:
        print('wrong input')
