Python adding variable as value in a dict

Question

I'm a beginner in Python and have a problem. I can't add the value of a variable to a dictionary.

fe

name=input('Input the name: ')
dict['Name']=name   

and here's the error:

TypeError: 'type' object does not support item assignment 

Could anyone help me?

Answer 1

Don't name your dictionary dict . That's a built-in. Name it something else, and you example should work, provided the dict object is initialized.

my_dict = {}
name=input('Input the name: ')
my_dict['Name']=name   

Answer 2

You have to instantiate the dictionary before:

d = dict()
d['Name'] = name

Answer 3

Given your snippet, i believe you named your dictionnary dict , which is a python built-in name. You should use another name for your variable ( always avoid using built-in names for variables ) like:

d = {}
d['Name'] = name

Answer 4

You may either

d = {}
d["Name"] = "yourName"

or

d = {"Name": "yourName"}

both would work

Answer 5

你可能想做

dict(Name = name)

Answer 6

您也可以使用以下代码：

d = dict(Name=input('Input the name: '))
