List and For Loops: cooking suggestions app

input items in the empty list

#input items in the empty list which we call lst[]

# creating an empty list
lst = []
 
# number of elemetns as input
n = int(input("Enter number of elements : "))
 
# iterating till the range
for i in range(0, n):
    ele = int(input("give me a food"))
 
    lst.append(ele) # adding the element
      
print(lst)

(copy and past the code into the jupyter to see how it works)

Main Source Code:

menu_keys = {'cake':['bread', 'flour', 'ice'],
             'icecream':['ice', 'flour', 'suji'],
             'custardcoke':['coke', 'bread', 'flour', 'suji']}

# creating an empty list
lst = []  #this is equivalent to value in a dictionary.
 
# number of elemetns as input
n = int(input("Enter how many items u have in the fridge : "))
 
# iterating till the range
for i in range(0, n): #number of times it should loop/rotate
    ele = str(input("give me fridge items"))
 
    lst.append(ele) # adding the element to the lst = [], which is our list where we save our new inputs


for key in menu_keys:
    if lst == menu_keys[key]:   #menu_keys[key] is actually the value for the keys of menu_keys dictionary
        print("you can make:", key)
        break
    else:
        print("u cant make:", key)
