def generate_playlist(category, number_of_songs=5):
    category = category.lower()
    if category not in song_database:
        return f"Category '{category}' not found. Available categories: {', '.join(song_database.keys())}"
    
    playlist = random.sample(song_database[category], min(number_of_songs, len(song_database[category])))
    return f"🎵 Playlist for '{category.title()}' mood/genre:n" + "n".join(f"{i+1}. {song}" for i, song in enumerate(playlist))

# Example usage:
if __name__ == "__main__":
    user_input = input("Enter a mood or genre (e.g., happy, sad, relaxing, energetic, rock, pop): ")
    try:
        num_songs = int(input("How many songs would you like in the playlist? "))
    except ValueError:
        num_songs = 5  # Default
    print(generate_playlist(user_input, num_songs))

Features:
