如何从用户那里获取输入，将它们放入列表中，然后从中随机选择一个，而无需多次询问

Question

It's my 4th day learning programming so I'm very new to it. and I'm trying to get the user's info(hobbies) in one question and save them into a list then give back the user one of the hobbies they chose. this what I've came up with

import random

fav_hobbies = []
hobbies = input("what are your favourite hobbies?(cooking, writing,ect) ").lower()
fav_hobbies.append(hobbies)

situation = input("so are you bored now?(answer with yes or no): ").lower()
if situation == "yes":
     print("you should try " + random.choice(fav_hobbies))

elif boredom_situation == "no":
     print("awesome! have a nice day!")

The problem is that instead of choosing a word among the words that user has chosen it just prints all of the things they said.

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

You are just accepting a string from the User and storing it as it is without splitting.

Assuming that you are accepting a space separated input , You can do this in:

fav_hobbies = list(input("what are your favourite hobbies?(cooking, writing,ect) ").lower().split())

import random

fav_hobbies = list(input("what are your favourite hobbies?(cooking, writing,ect) ").lower().split())

situation = input("so are you bored now?(answer with yes or no): ").lower()
if situation == "yes":
     print("you should try " + random.choice(fav_hobbies))

elif boredom_situation == "no":
     print("awesome! have a nice day!")

If you use some other separator like , you can just add it to split(',')
