Trying to work with nested dictionaries.... Taking input from user about how many input items he has with him(he enters a no), for each item, the code asks him to enter two numbers, from which, the code shall tell the largest and lower number in the range of nos entered... PFB Code: def how_many_sets(): global set_nos_list set_nos_list = [] defaults = {"range": [], "items": [], "largest": 0, "lowest": 0, "difference": 0} global set_no set_no = int(input('How many sets?')) if set_no < 1 or set_no > 10: print('error') else: for num in range(set_no): set_nos_list.append(num) print(set_nos_list) global set_dict set_dict = dict.fromkeys(set_nos_list, defaults) return set_no def take_sets(): for item in set_nos_list: list_per_pair = list(map(int, input().split())) if len(list_per_pair) != 2: print('There is an error in the no of items, For finding the range two items should be there in a list') return elif (list_per_pair[0] < 2) or (list_per_pair[1] > 1000000) or (list_per_pair[0] > list_per_pair[1]): print(' error') return else: print(item) set_dict[item]["range"] = list_per_pair temp_item_list = [] for value in range(list_per_pair[0], list_per_pair[1] + 1): # print(value) temp_item_list.append(value) print(temp_item_list) #set_dict[num]['items'] = temp_item_list print(set_dict) def main(): how_many_sets() take_sets() # Write code here main() The line set_dict[item]["range"] = list_per_pair gives me an error, the set_dict gets updated with the last item value only despite the loop being iterating over all values.... How many sets?2 [0, 1] 3 6 0 [3, 4, 5, 6] 4 7 1 [4, 5, 6, 7] {0: {'range': [3, 6], 'items': [], 'largest': 0, 'lowest': 0, 'difference': 0}, 1: {'range': [4, 7], 'items': [], 'largest': 0, 'lowest': 0, 'difference': 0}} where as I want output something like this: {0: {'range': [4, 7], 'items': [], 'largest': 0, 'lowest': 0, 'difference': 0}, 1: {'range': [4, 7], 'items': [], 'largest': 0, 'lowest': 0, 'difference': 0}} Continue reading...
