Happy to. We won't do the homework for you but we will ask leading
questions and give hints.
I know below it prints the entire list of composers but i dont know how
to do the program above.
OK, breaking it into three parts:
1) print names from the list - you can do that already
2) test if a name starts and ends with the same letter
- Amit has shown you how to get the letters, do you
know how to test for equality (using the == operator)?
3) Filter the printout based on the test in (2)
- Do you know how to use an if statement to take
action depending on the outcome of a test?
Your code should then look like
for person in persons:
if <your test here>
print person
If there are still things you are unclear about
ask here and we will break it down further.
