Hi Colby, Yes, this looks ok to me. I think we can also express it as a dictionary comprehension. (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#dictionaries) pt_table = {int(key): value for key, value in pt_table.items()} I think the dictionary comprehension approach is slightly more idiomatic, but what you've got looks ok too. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
