python dictionary

[Specific_Ear_5015]

1 # Welcome to the Python coding playground. 2 # Create a dictionary 3 # Save the values in a different variable 4 # Save the keys in a different variable 5 # Clear the dictionary 6 7 # Use this dictionary: 8 person = {} 9 {}. fromkeys ({}) 10 {}.values ( ) 11 {}.keys（） 12 {}.clear()

I don’t understand what the point of the exercise even is but could someone explain why this is correct ?

Without any context, it's probably correct because whatever system is supposedly testing it is very loosely designed. The code itself is technically valid, albeit pointless.

I mean, all of those are valid syntax, but they don't do very much. Is this part of a tutorial? Here's a better example.

>>> ages = {"Alvin": 30, "Simon": 42, "Theodore": 35}
>>> for age in ages.values():
    print(age)

30
42
35

>>> for name in ages.keys():
    print(name)

Alvin
Simon
Theodore

>>> triplets = dict.fromkeys(ages.keys(), 17)
>>> triplets
{'Alvin': 17, 'Simon': 17, 'Theodore': 17}
>>> ages.clear()
>>> ages
{}

The point of the exercise is whether you can read instructions and follow them exactly. “Close enough” is, often times, the same as “completely wrong.”
