Assign the result of a loop to a variable in Python

Question

Consider a list I want to parse using a for :

friends = [\"Joe\", \"Zoe\", \"Brad\", \"Angelina\", \"Zuki\", \"Thandi\", \"Paris\"]
for i in fri         


        

Answer 1

I would use a dictionary instead, as I too spent a while looking into this, and determined that a dictionary would be easy enough.

    friends = ["Joe", "Zoe", "Brad", "Angelina", "Zuki", "Thandi", "Paris"]
    dict= {}
    for i in friends:
       dict[i] = i

    print(dict)
    print(dict['Zuki'])
    dict['Zuki'] = "Tim Smith"

    print(dict['Zuki'])

The Other option would be to just call the number:

    print(friends[0])

As for automatic assignment I haven't found a way to do it.
