I want to create a program that can print the number of movies that was watched by more than 3 people(data stored in a nested list as below ).

list_movies = [('Spiderman 3', ['John', 'jake','Ronald']),('Gravity',['james','jake','john','gerald']),
('Terminator',['Anne','Johnny','Peter','Ronald','Neville'])]

What I have tried:

Python

list_movies = [('Spiderman 3', ['John', 'jake','Ronald']),('Gravity',['james','jake','john','gerald']),
               ('Terminator',['Anne','Johnny','Peter','Ronald','Neville'])]



count2 = 0
for (movie,name) in list_movies:
    count = 0
    for (name) in list_movies:
        if name != '':
            count += 1
    if count > 3:
        count2 += 1
    
print(count)
print(count2)

You inner loop should iterate over the second item of the tuple:

Python

list_movies = [('Spiderman 3', ['John', 'jake','Ronald']),('Gravity',['james','jake','john','gerald']),
               ('Terminator',['Anne','Johnny','Peter','Ronald','Neville'])]



count2 = 0
for (movie,viewers) in list_movies:
    count = 0
    for (name) in viewers:
        if name != '':
            count += 1
    if count > 3:
        count2 += 1

print("last movie viewers: %d" % count)
print("count of movies having had more than three viewers: %d" % count2)
