Accessing items in lists within dictionary python

Question

I have a dictionary that has keys associated with lists.

mydict = {\'fruits\': [\'banana\', \'apple\', \'orange\'],
         \'vegetables\': [\'pepper\', \'carr         


        

Answer 1

mydict = {'fruits': ['banana', 'apple', 'orange'],
     'vegetables': ['pepper', 'carrot'], 
     'cheese': ['swiss', 'cheddar', 'brie']}

item = "cheddar"
if item in mydict['cheese']:
    print ("true")

this works, but you have to reference the keys in the dictionary like cheese, vegetables etc instead because of the way you made the dictionary, hope this helps!
