View Contact
Part of the Logic & Flow section of Coddy's Python journey — lesson 19 of 78.
Challenge
MediumCreate a function named view_contact that displays details of a specific contact.
Your function should:
- Take a contact book dictionary as a parameter
- Get a contact name from user input (using
input()) - Display the contact's details if found
- Print "Contact not found!" if the contact doesn't exist
When displaying a contact, use this exact format:
Name: [name]
Phone: [phone]
Email: [email]
Address: [address]Example:
If the contact book contains Alice's information and the user enters "Alice", output:
Name: Alice
Phone: 123-456-7890
Email: alice@example.com
Address: 123 Main StIf the user enters "Bob" (who doesn't exist), output:
Contact not found!Note: Your function should only output the contact details or the error message - no additional prompting text.
