Working in Python 2.7. I have a dictionary with team names as the keys and the amount of runs scored and allowed for each team as the value list:
NL_East = {'Phillies': [645, 469], 'Braves': [599, 548], 'Mets': [653, 672]}
I would like to be able to feed the dictionary into a function and iterate over each team (the keys).
Here's the code I'm using. Right now, I can only go team by team. How would I iterate over each team and print the expected win_percentage for each team?
def Pythag(league):
runs_scored = float(league['Phillies'][0])
runs_allowed = float(league['Phillies'][1])
win_percentage = round((runs_scored**2)/((runs_scored**2)+(runs_allowed**2))*1000)
print win_percentage
Thanks for any help.
You have several options for iterating over a dictionary.
If you iterate over the dictionary itself (for team in league
), you will be iterating over the keys of the dictionary. When looping with a for loop, the behavior will be the same whether you loop over the dict (league
) itself, or league.keys()
:
for team in league.keys():
runs_scored, runs_allowed = map(float, league[team])
You can also iterate over both the keys and the values at once by iterating over league.items()
:
for team, runs in league.items():
runs_scored, runs_allowed = map(float, runs)
You can even perform your tuple unpacking while iterating:
for team, (runs_scored, runs_allowed) in league.items():
runs_scored = float(runs_scored)
runs_allowed = float(runs_allowed)
