Learning Python: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners to Coding with Python with Useful Tools

Dictionary with Similar Objects
Throughout  this  chapter,  we  have  only  stored  different  information  as  it
relates to a single object, which in this case, is our team1. However, you are
not  limited  to  a  particular  team  as  you  can  store  information  on  different
objects. For instance, we want to conduct an election for a community. We
can use a dictionary to store the list of candidates, along with their parties.

---

election_list = {
‘John Campbell’ : ‘Freedom Party,’
‘Eric Longman’: ‘Sovereign Nation Party,’
‘Amanda  Drill’:  ‘  Women  Liberation
Movement,’
‘Condolence Rice’: ‘Democratic Party,’
‘Donald Trump’: ‘Republican Party,’
}
If you observe, there is a difference from our previous list as we broke this
list  into  several  lines,  unlike  the  team1  dictionary,  where  everything  is
written  on  a  single  line.  Each  candidate  corresponds  to  his  or  her  party;
additionally, there is always an opening and closing brace. Don’t forget to
add  a  comma  to  signify  the  end  of  a  pair.  With  this,  you  can  add  another
key-value pair. Let us pick a candidate of our choice
list  = election_list[‘Donald Trump’].title()
print(“Our Vote will be for {list}.”)
In this portion, we see that the user picked Donald Trump as their favorite
candidate.
Our Vote will be for Donald Trump.
Exercise to Try
Create  a  new  dictionary  to  keep  information  about  people  you
know about living in your country. Then store the last name, first
name, city, and age of each individual. Ensure you use a unique
key  for  this  information  and  print  each  information  in  the
dictionary.
Store  the  favorite  food  of  8  people  in  a  dictionary,  you  know.
Print their names and corresponding food.
