Umm I'm new to this whole tutoring list and I'm having a little bit of trouble in school with my programming classes (hopefully it's not too late to pass my class) but anyway, here's the code I've written:
#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """Task 07: declaring a dictionary, creating a function, return a funky total """ DATA = {2: 7493945, 76: 4654320, 3: 4091979, 90: 1824881, 82: 714422, 45: 1137701, 10: 374362, 0: 326226, -15: 417203, -56: 333525, 67: 323451, 99: 321696, 21: 336753, -100: 361237, 55: 1209714, 5150: 1771800, 42: 4714011, 888: 14817667, 3500: 13760234, 712: 10903322, 7: 10443792, 842: 11716264, 18584: 10559923, 666: 9275602, 70: 11901200, 153: 12074784, 8: 4337229} def iter_dict_funky_sum(**DATA): """function that takes one dictionary argument declaring a running total variable, extracting key/value pairs from DATA simultaneously in a for loop, assigning and appending the product of the value minus the key to the running total variable and returning the total.""" funky = 0 for key, value in DATA.iteritems(): funky += value - key return funky Now, everything it's returning is correct, the only problems I'm having is the 2 errors pylint is throwing me, which are: task_07.py:36: [W0621(redefined-outer-name), iter_dict_funky_sum] Redefining name 'DATA' from outer scope (line 7) task_07.py:36: [C0103(invalid-name), iter_dict_funky_sum] Invalid argument name "DATA" What does it mean and how can I fix it? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
