[FIXED] Taking input for dictionary in python

Issue

Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to take the key and value for a dictionary as input in python? Suppose I have made an empty dictionary. I want to include the key name by taking input from user as well as its corresponding value as well.

Solution

This is pretty simple, for each key there is a list of values, note all values will be in string form. You enter the information like this.

Key;

Number of values for that key;

Enter each value seperately

Repeat for each key

Code:

def inputDict(numKeys=10):
    #if you want you could make numKeys an input too(numKeys = int(input("Numkeys?")))
    desiredDict = {}
    #ask key and value for the numKeys
    for nameValuePair in range(numKeys):
        key = input("NextKey:\n")
        numVals = int(input("How many values for that key?\n"))
        valList = []
        for value in range(numVals):
            valList.append(input("Next value\n"))
        desiredDict[key] = valList
    return desiredDict
