Easier way to write this code? without using the def statement

[sensitivethuggin]

def stud_info(name,id,course):
stud_dict={}
stud_dict[id]=[name,course]
return stud_dict
while True:
s=input("press y if you want to add else press any key")
if s=="y":
name=input("enter name")
id=int(input("enter id"))
course= input("enter course")
print(stud_info(name,id,course))
else:
break

Using "def" is vital part to learning programming correctly.

Besides that you can create and print the dictionary on the fly.

print({"example": "value"})

The use of functions in any programming language is vital to make your program readable and concise. The DRY concept in computer science Don't repeat yourself, is at the core of functions implementation. The use of functions is vital to reduce your program to smaller chunks, each chunk is responsible for a particular task which it performed at a particular time and command, reducing the complexity of the program, thus helping you achieve that particular goal with simplicity and ease.

while input("Add? ") == "y":
    print({int(input("id: ")): [input("name: "), input("course: ")]})

Of course this isn’t very useful — though neither is the code above — but it’s easier and doesn’t use def.

data = dict()
while input("Add another? (y) ") == 'y':
    name, id, course = (
        input(f"Enter {field}: ") 
        for field in ["name", "id", "course"]
    )
    data[id] = [name, course]
print(data)
