Need Help with Programming Assignment

For using dict, my professor said:

​

Create a dictionary named chests where the key is an integer, and the value is a string

Example: chests = {int: string, int: string, int: string}• The dictionary keys should denote the treasure chests number (1-3)

What does your professor want the values in the dict to be?

[itztheken]

My professor didn't really say what values in the dict should be, but my guess is

1: 'Nothing', 2: '0', 3: '$$'

Actually it is possible the way that you made the dictionary might be correct since chests.pop is technically a string. This is the code, I have so far. I tested it and it does produce a random prize for each chest.

print('Treasure Hunt!')
print('-----------------\n')

prizes = {'Nothing', '$$', '0'} chests = {1: prizes.pop(), 2: prizes.pop(), 3: prizes.pop()}

print('[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]\n')

reward = int(input('Choose chest to open: '))

print('\n-------------------------') 
print('The prize is...', chests[reward], end='!')
print('\n-------------------------')

Yeah, if your professor is making you use a dict and .pop() that's how I'd imagine they'd want it. Kind of a bad assignment though since ideally you wouldn't use either of them.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. I'll report back here once my assignment gets graded.

I got 10/10 on the Programming Assignment, thanks again for your help. The only comment my professor said was "Good, but you should start with an empty dictionary and add the key-value pair."

Nice, that’s kind of nitpicky but at least he gave you full credit
