[drifting flame]

replace 7-1 with 6 in the code

[stuck haven]

[spare lily]

Mb, instead of printing that thing just return it

New and updated code:

# lets make a program that has people invited to our birthday
# party!

# But UH OH!, our birthday part table only has enough room for
# 6 people, 

Our_table = ["george","samantha",
             "kris","webster",
             "harold","john",
             "miles","hamilton",
             "dog","Charles"]
def still_invited(name):
    return(f"Dear {name},\n\tWe have made some changes to whom is still remaining in our party. We have made unfortunatly removed some people from our party, However, you; {name} are still invited to our birthday party in which will be hosted on 1/13/25.\n")

def uninvited_statement(name):
    return(f"Dear {name},\n\tIt has been an unfortunate decision to inform you; {name}, you have been uninvited from our birthday party to be hosted on 1/13/25. We have made the mistake of adding more than 6 people to our birthday party. Here's a $5 Amazon gift card as an apology.\n")

while len(Our_table) > 6:
    uninvited = Our_table.pop()
    print(uninvited_statement(uninvited))
for person in Our_table:
    print(still_invited(person))

if you want to play around more with this. you could try implementing a priority for each invited person and remove the person with the least priority. this can be done with a heap. implementing a own class for a heap could also be a nice task but there is already an implementation for heaps in the module heapq

That print after the while loop should be indented no?

[stuck haven]

print(uninvited_statement(uninvited))?

I believe that will create an unexpected indentation error

[bright sparrow]

Oh wait

Mobile formatting

[stuck haven]

Why does mobile do that?

[bright sparrow]

Its wrapping lines that are too long

[stuck haven]

Heres what It should look like
