Creating Unique Dictionary Variables from List


Hello All,
I'm attempting to create multiple dictionaries at once, each with unique
variable names. The number of dictionaries i need to create depends on the
length of a list, which was returned from a previous function.
The pseudo code for this problem would be:

returnedlist = [x,y,z]
count = 0
for i in returnedlist:
if count < len(returnedlis t):
# then create a dictionary (beginning with variable dic) and add a
unique ending such that
# my final dictionary name would be dic + count for each i

Any ideas about this?
Greg

Pythons internal 'pointers' system is certainly causing me a few headaches.....

I need some opionions on an issue here... Suppose I want to keep a collection of objects, each need to be uniquely identified by a number. This number has no meaning as long as it's unique, so it should be automatically generated for each new object. One more requirement is keeping the objects in the order in which they were inserted, not sorted by their ID. Considering the following options of implementation, which would be the best...

I figure that someone good at dotnet can look at this and give me a clue on how to easily organize this code? If there is a unique identifier like "Publisher" with a bunch of "Book" that are published under them (I used the arraylist class in the publisher class). How should the code be organized, and how can the books properties like "Name" be easily called in the main code, or searched for in the main code?

En Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:23:08 -0300, Shawn Milochik <Shawn@Milochik.comescribió: A dictionary with keys is perfectly reasonable. But a *list* of values has to be searched linearly for every value: a O(n) process. As your friend suggested, searching a dictionary requires O(1) time. A set is even better in this case, because you don't have any use for the values in the inner dictionary (sets and dictionaries are very similar in the...

Hi I have a list of type object. The object has an ID as one of the elements and I would like to create another list that just has objects with unique IDs.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
