Python loop only printing the last tuple, any thoughts?

# Columns: Name, Day/Month, Celebrates, Age
BDAY = (
    ("James", "9/8", True, 9),
    ("Shawna", "12/6", True, 22),
    ("Amaya", "28/2", False, 8),
    ("Kamal", "29/4", True, 19),
    ("Sam", "16/7", False, 22),
    ("Xan", "14/3", False, 34),
)

# Problem 2: Half birthdays
# Loop through all of the people in BIRTHDAYS
# Calculate their half birthday (six months later)
# Print out their name and half birthday

for person in BDAY:
    birthdate = person[1].split("/")
    birthdate[1] = int(birthdate[1]) + 6
    if birthdate[1] > 12:
        birthdate[1] - 12
    birthdate[1] = str(birthdate[1])
print(person[0], '/'.join(birthdate))

result

Xan 14/9

Why am I only getting the last one?.

Hi there! You're only getting the last one printed because your print statement doesn't run until the for loop is completed. To get each person printed, you will need to include the print inside the for loop. Try indenting your print statement one level.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
