Question

In my comp sci class, we’ve just touched on dictionaries. I’m trying to figure out how to remove an item from a list in a dictionary and move it to another list.

For example,

dict1={ 'colors':[red,blue,green], 'sweaters':[mine, his, hers]}

Let’s say I wanted to check if “red” was in the dictionary, and it was. So how could I go about removing it from “colors”, and adding it to “sweaters”? The list part has thrown me off.

This is the function I have thus far( the actual problem)

`def nowRead(yourDict, title):

key1, key2, key3, key4 = yourDict.values() 
if title in key2: 
    key2.remove(title)
    key3.append(title)
return yourDict

Answer 1

for key in dict1.keys():
    if 'red' in dict1[key]:
        theList = dict1[key]
        # remove 'red' from theList
        # append 'red' to another list in dict1
