My program is a calorie counter that reads the food and calories from a text file and the name + the foods the person ate. At the end of the program it should output the names + total calories (starting with lowest first). The output values are printing correct, although they aren't in the correct order.

Anyone know why this is happening?

import sys
file = "foods.txt"
line = sys.stdin
fridge = {}
with open(file, "r") as f:
for a in f:
    a = a.strip().split()
    food = " ".join(a[:-1])
    calorie = a[-1]
    fridge[food] = calorie
for i in line:
    i = i.strip().split(",")
    name = i[0]
    foods = i[1:]
    total_calories = 0
    for k in foods:
        calorie = fridge.get(k)
        if k in fridge:
            total_calories += int(calorie)
    print("{} : {}".format(name, total_calories))

  • I don't know python, but I think using `array.sort();` should help: https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/methods/list/sort –  Feb 23 '19 at 16:21

    Dictionaries aren't ordered in Python. If you need a dictionary that is ordered, lookup OrderedDict. – tBuLi Feb 23 '19 at 16:24

In the last statement of your code, instead of printing append the values to a list predefined using list.append((name,totalcalories)). Later define a takeSecond function def takeSecond(elem): return elem[1] and sort the list using l.sort(key=takeSecond) Now you may get your required result.
