Re: TypeError: list indices must be integers, not tuple

Hi,

There is a lot of issues with this code. First, setting fav to a 1 tuples
with a string probably isn't what you want. What you probably mean is:

if restraunt == ("Pizza"):
    fav = 1

Second, when you are trying to lookup items in Menu, you are using the
incorrect fav. Lists have int indicies (just like the error points out).
Values like ("1") aren't integers.

Thirdly, Menu is a list of lists. To fetch "Barbeque pizza" from Menu, you
need to do Menu[0][0], not Menu[0, 0].

Finally, Python comes with a style guide which you can find in pep8
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>. Your code violates that guide
in many places. It might be worth working through the Python Tutorial
<https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/>.

Cheers
