Ex 16: Student Score Report

Problem​

Build a report generator that pairs student names with their corresponding marks. We have two separate lists: one for names and one for scores.

Rules​

• Define generate_score_report(names: list[str], scores: list[int]) -> list[str].
• Use the zip() function to iterate over both lists in parallel.
• Return a list where each item is formatted as "Name scored X marks".

Boilerplate​

Copy below code and paste to our IDE for head start.

# Write our code inside this function
def generate_score_report(names: list[str], scores: list[int]) -> list[str]:
    pass # remove this

# Call with test data
names = ["Hitesh", "Sonali", "Ali"]
scores = [50, 70, 100]
print(generate_score_report(names, scores))

Expected Output​

['Hitesh scored 50 marks', 'Sonali scored 70 marks', 'Ali scored 100 marks']

def generate_score_report(names: list[str], scores: list[int]) -> list[str]:
    report: list[str] = []
    for name, score in zip(names, scores):
        report.append(f"{name} scored {score} marks")
    return report

# Test call
names = ["Hitesh", "Sonali", "Ali"]
scores = [50, 70, 100]
print(generate_score_report(names, scores))
