Unable to process dict properly

Question

I have dict which got list, what I want is to display list elements in one line.

My dict

data = {'id':[1,2], 'name':['foo','bar'], 'type':['x','y']}

Expected output

   name is foo and id is 1
   name is bar and id is 2

My code

>>> data = {'id':[1,2], 'name':['foo','bar'], 'type':['x','y']}
>>> for key, value in data.items():
...     print(value)
... 
['foo', 'bar']
['x', 'y']
[1, 2]
>>>

Your code just prints the `value`, and that is what you got. You say you expect `name is foo and id is 1` but your code does not have the strings "name is", nor "and id is" — phzx_munki, Mar 19 '21 at 22:48

You can use zip() as:

for name, idx in zip(data['name'], data['id']):
    print(f"name is {name} and id is {idx}")

Use format() if you are using python version lower than 3.6:

for name, idx in zip(data['name'], data['id']):
    print("name is {0} and id is {1}".format(name, idx))

looks good to me, is your python version < 3.6 in which case `f-strings` might not be supported and you can use `format()` – Krishna Chaurasia Mar 19 '21 at 12:38
