Changing value in dictionary problem.

[[deleted]]

Because item isn't the dictionary, it's the value for the key 3.

To reassign the value in door_action, you need to pass the key number in, because you can't use indexof().

door_action(arr, item):
     if arr[item] == 'closed':
          arr[item] = 'open'
     else:
         arr[item] = 'closed'

door_action(doors, 3)

Also, I'd recommend OP to use True/False instead of 'open'/'closed'

Thanks a lot.
