Question

How do I rewrite this code so that when I print it the numbers come out like this (xxx)-xxx-xxxx or the picture, because everytime I print it comes out like this xxxxxxxxxx.

def dialByName(names,numbers):
'''Function to handle dial by name command which
prompts the user for the name
checks if the name is present in names list (make the comparison
case-insensitive)
if not present prints "Name not found."
else prints "Calling name ....xxx-xxx-xxxx"
E.g. If slot number 3 (values at index 2 in above lists)
had name = "Susan" and number 4255551212, and user enters "susan"
dialByName() will print
"Calling Susan ........425-555-1212"
'''
name = input('Enter the name: ')
for i in range(len(names)):
if names[i].lower() == name.lower():
print('Calling . . . . . . . .' + numbers[i])
break
else:
print('Name not found.')
