Create a function called get_laureates() that thas three parameters:dict_prizes (positional parameter) year (keyword parameter with default None) category (keyword parameter with default None)

The function should find all laureates that received the Nobel Prize, optionally in a specific year and/or category (specified using the keywords year and category). It should return a list of the full names of the laureates.

For example, for the year 2018 and category "peace" it should return the list ['Denis Mukwege', 'Nadia Murad'].

f = open('/content/laureate.json')
  
dict_laureates = json.load(f)

def get_laureates(year, category):
    for element in dict_laureates['laureates']:
        for k in element['prizes']:
            if (k['category'])  == category and k['year'] == year:
            
                return (element['firstname'] + " "+ element['surname'])
                   

get_laureates(year = "2005", category = "chemistry")

it does not work when there are more than 1 output. Any ideas on how to fix this?

however it does not work if there are more than 1 output. Any idea how to modify the code that it outputs all with given criteria?

For sure! Have you ever heard of the keyword yield?

Just replace return with yield, and the function will give you back all the names with a tuple.

To convert a generator to a list, simply use list function.

result = list(get_laureates(year="2005", category="chemistry"))

If you want to iterate on the generator, simply don't convert it and use the for ... in syntax.
