Question

Accessing tuple values

How to access the value of a and b in the following

       >> t=[]
       >> t.append(("a" , 1))
       >> t.append(("b" , 2))
       >> print t[0][0]
        a
       >> print t[1][0] 
         b

How to print the values of a and b

Answer 1

Just do

print t[0][1]
print t[1][1]

But of course if you really want to look up for a or b, this is not the best construct, then you need a dict:

t = {}
t["a"] = 1
t["b"] = 2
print t["a"]
print t["b"]
