address book

# A simple address book using lists and the traditional raw_input to accept values
# created by Egbie Anderson on sunday 13 April 20:00 hrs
# created using python 2.7x

# The program uses the append and the pop method as well as raw_string
# to delete, add and ask a user for raw_input

# The program asks the user for their name and how many names they would
# like to add to the address book. The program then adds the name to the address
# book or it can delete the names too

address_book = []

# ask the user for their name
name = raw_input("[*] what is your name : ")
surname = raw_input("[*] what is your surname : ")

print "[*] Creating an empty address book for ", name, surname
print

# ask the user for the number of names they will like to add to the address book
num = int(raw_input("[*] How many names would like to add to your address book. e.g. 2, 3: "))
print

# add the names to the address book
for i in range(num):
    name = raw_input("Enter a name for the address book {no spaces} or 'ENTER' to add nothing: ")
    print "[*] adding ", name, "to the address book."
    address_book.append(name)
    print

print "[+] Done added ", num, "names to the address book"

# uncomment the print lines below to display the names in the address book

print "[*] Displaying current address book, please wait.."

# Deletes names from the address book
