Well in this case you just pass the callback function to the createQuote function. CreateQuote doesnt know what to do with the callback or when to do it so you have to tell it to run it yourself.

How would createQuote know when to call the callback otherwise? You may have a lot of code before that call to supply the callback with data.

Here is a solution you can try out,

Using plain JDBC you could do something like this:

Your approach with lstBoxDogNames.SelectedItem.ToString() is actually not that bad. But if you debug, you will see that the string returned will not only contain the content that is being displayed, but also additional information.

Instead, try this:

You should know that knn(graph) is a list, i.e.,

Change the position: fixed; on .side to position: absolute;.

To start with, all your recipients are always travelling from Manchester; this is because your places list is looped through in it's entirety for each recipient name, and the document is saved AFTER the loop.

Recipient names are being switched from the place name, but when you are assigning the address in your second for loop, you are using the original letter template instead of the template modified when applying the name, the assignment of new_letter is replaced with the original letter_contents.

This would be resolved by swapping:

new_letter = letter_contents.replace(ADDRESS, stripped_place)

with

new_letter = new_letter.replace(ADDRESS, stripped_place)

Your idea of using dictionaries instead of lists is a good one. After dealing with countless mailmerge projects, one of the most difficult and necessary problems is ensuring all client details are always kept in sync. I would assign each recipient a unique ID to tie data in to. Reading both data fields into a dictionary under the same key will make it easier when you start dealing with big datasets and large numbers of fields.

An example of this, using defaultDict:

You can use findIndex this will return index value of array if match found then using this indexvalue fetch name from your JSON Array i.e : result[index].name then add this to your divs .

Demo Code :

The issue is that you are using euclidean distance for comparing strings. Consider using Levenshtein distance, or something similar, which is designed for strings. NLTK has a function called edit distance that can do this or you can implement it on your own.
