Hi.
As the subject says, I'm a newbie trying to learn python and now
dictionaries. I can create a dict, understand it and use it for simple
tasks. But the thing is that I don't really get the point on how to
use these in real life programing.
For example I tryed to create a very simple phonebook
code:
d = {'fname': [], 'ename': []}
name1 = 'ricky'
name2 = 'martin'
d['fname'].append(name1)
d['ename'].append(name2)
name1 = 'britney'
name2 = 'spears'
d['fname'].append(name1)
d['ename'].append(name2)
This gives me:
{'ename': ['martin', 'spears'], 'fname': ['ricky', 'britney']}
I wonder if this is a correct usage and thinking about dictioaries in
python.
Everything in my example is based on a serval lists in a dictionary,
and person 1 is == ename[0] & fname[0]
and person 2 is == ename[1] & fname[1], it's based on position and
indexing.
Is this correct if no, how would you do it?
if yes, how can I print the result out in a nice way? I need a for-
loop that prints:
all [0] in all lists
all [0] in all lists and so on.
thanks
