You can alsao avoid indexes with the
So I'm trying to divide fractions, technically I suppose integers. So, for
instance, when the user inputs a 1 as the numerator and a 2 as the
denominator to get the float 0.5, I want to put the 0.5 as the key in a
dictionary and the 1 and the 2 as the values of the key in a list {0.5: [1,
2]},

Python has a library for doing maths with fractions. Unfortunately it is
considerably too complex to use as a learning example, but as a
practical library for

Let's do some experimentation. Here's a list:

The value is irrelevant youi access the value in

return is only used inside a function, it makes no
sense outside (and is a syntax error). Its purpose
is to return a value to the caller

I was trying to rewrite the above as a function.
Unlike my code above, my function below did not return the first 5

ok, got it - thanks.
my code below did not require a return statement, hence I was assuming
it wouldn't be needed in my function
import pandas as pd
cities_lst = pd.read_table("cool_cities.csv")
cities_lst.head()

Greetings,
I am at a point where I am familiar with variables, "if", "while", "for",
statements etc, as well as the basics of object oriented programming. Up to
this point I've mostly been following tutorials, which involves a lot of hand
holding. I'm at the point where I want to actually

Well done, it's good to recognise that stage in your development.
