List All

Part of the Logic & Flow section of Coddy's GDScript journey. Lesson 29 of 78.

Challenge

Easy

Handle the choice 5, listing every contact. Keep everything you wrote in the previous steps.

Write list_all_contacts(contact_book: Dictionary). It reads no input. If contact_book is empty, it prints:

No contacts available.

Otherwise it prints every contact, in the order they were added, in the same four-line format as view_contact(), followed by an empty line. With Alice and Bob in the book, the output is:

Name: Alice
Phone: 123-456-7890
Email: alice@example.com
Address: 123 Main St

Name: Bob
Phone: 234-567-8901
Email: bob@example.com
Address: 456 Oak Ave

In the loop, add an elif branch for "5" that calls list_all_contacts(contact_book).
