command-line phonebook using a dictionary

16 New Member
i need to make a dictionary that works as a telephone book.
this is what needs to happen when i type in the following:

add name number – it adds the name and number to the phonebook
lookup name – returns the number for the given name
alias name newname – lets u look up the number by typing the name or the alias "newname".
change name number – changes the number that is connected to the given name
quit – shuts down the the interactive use of the dictionary

thanks guys!

That sounds a lot like your Votes using dictionary problem, which I never hear was any use to you. Start with that and post what you have come up with. You've come a long way in just a few days and I don't think that it's asking too much to ask you to follow the Posting Guidelines.

Here's a hint: Phone numbers should be stored as strings, not numeric values.

That's OK. But this is help forum, not a do-your-work-for-you site.
So, please, post some sort of start so that we can help you get it going.

New to Tkinter. Initially, I had some code that was executing button commands at creation, rather than waiting for user action. Some research here gave me a solution, but I am not sure why the extra step is necessary. This causes the "graph" function to execute when the button is created: Button(root, text='OK', command=graph(canvas))) However, this waits until the button is pressed (the desired behavior): def doit(): graph(canvas)

Why can we not give db2 System commands (commands starting with 'db2' like db2ilist, db2look, db2move etc.) through the Command Center? It is so convenient to retrieve and change commands in the Command center but this facility does not seem to exist for System commands. Seems command Window and CLP are the only places where we can interactively issue these commands..darn it!!! Regards, Raquel.

I am having an odd problem: the sqlj command on my system doesn't work. I am running DB2 (LUW) V8 (FP8) on WinXP. I haven't done an sqlj program since Version 6 of DB2 (LUW) so I checked the manuals for the proper techniques to prepare an sqlj program. When I went to try the sqlj command, I got this: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sqlj/tools/Sqlj

Hi. I'm writing a command shell that reads commands from standard input. At this point I have the command in a std::string. Now I want to execute this command in the shell. From the Borland newsgroups I learned that there is a function in stdlib.h called system. int system(const char *command); First question, is the system command ANSI compliant. Because I include <cstdlib> and write std::system(command.c_str()); it looks like an...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
