Python：从存储为字典值的列表中调用单个项目

Question

How do I access individual items from a list stored as a dictionary value in python?

my_list = ['black','white']

my_dict = {'black':['yes','no'],'white':['maybe','so']}

I would like to refer to my_list to get values from my_dict .

print(my_dict[my_list[0]]) returns ['yes', 'no'] .

How do I return just 'yes' or just 'maybe'?

Thanks.

Answer 1

print(my_dict[my_list[0]][0]) # prints "yes"
print(my_dict[my_list[0]][1]) # prints "no"
print(my_dict[my_list[1]][0]) # prints "maybe"
print(my_dict[my_list[1]][1]) # prints "so"

If you want to use my_list use a for loop:

for colour in my_list:
    print(my_dict[colour])

This prints:

["yes", "no"]
["maybe", "so"]

Answer 2

print(my_dict[my_list[0]][0]) returns the first element from the first dictionary entry value, that is "yes".
