I have the following dict:

dict = {'1:': ('Mercedes,', '200,', '10000USD'),
        '2:': ('BMW,', '150,', '12000USD'),
        '3:': ('Jeep,', '30,', '8000USD')}

What is the right function to edit values (name, quantity, price)

I want the user to input the ID, and then let him edit the information of the mentioned ID

    You can't edit them without rebuilding the entire tuple. You should use lists instead, like `['Mercedes,', '200,', '10000USD']`. – ForceBru Mar 27 '22 at 13:29

    `dict[ID] = (name, quantity, price)` ? – Mehrdad Pedramfar Mar 27 '22 at 13:30
  • Do you want to *modify* the value or do you want to *replace* the value? – MisterMiyagi Mar 27 '22 at 13:31
  • @ForceBru No, I can't change the dict, I want to find a way to edit the dict. I can't change it to list –  Mar 27 '22 at 13:33
  • @MisterMiyagi Doesn't matter, just wanted to find a function that makes it possible to edit this dict –  Mar 27 '22 at 13:34

When you have given the value in Tuple datatype, you can't edit its elements separately. But, you can entirely replace the existing tuple with new one.

  • Maybe use list datatype instead of tuples. If so, you can use indexing. Like dict[][0] = – vishnuprajit1024 Mar 27 '22 at 13:31

    This answer could be significantly improved by providing a short example. This is especially true since the question implies the OP is not familiar with the `dict`/`tuple` API. Note that you can [edit] your answer at any time to expand or adjust it. – MisterMiyagi Mar 27 '22 at 13:34
  • Can you add an example please? –  Mar 27 '22 at 13:40
  • For the question, @VladimirMawla asked, we can use `dict[ID] = (new_model, new_quantity. new_price)` Can't change any element individually inside the tuple since this is an immutable datatype. Instead, use lists like `dict[ID] = [model, quantity, price]`. If so, you can change the values individually. Example: `dict[ID][0] = new_model` – vishnuprajit1024 Mar 27 '22 at 14:26
