53.2 Practice: Inventory Management (Python Core)

Question

Dictionaries

Dictionaries can be used to store key:value pairs.

I'm at a loss on how to go about this, I've reviewed the lesson a couple of times and I don't know what to do.
The problem:
You have been asked to create an inventory management program for a store. You use a dictionary to track all of the store's inventory along with how many of each item the store has.
store = {"Orange": 2, "Watermelon": 0, "Apple": 8, "Banana": 42}
PY
Complete the provided code to output the number of apples present in the store.
Dictionaries can be indexed just like lists, using square brackets.
Starting code:
store = {"Orange": 2, "Watermelon": 0, "Apple": 8, "Banana": 42}

#your code goes here

Answer 1

instead of a numbered index like lists (usually) you use the "key" as the index.

To print the 8 that's after Apple, you'd print store["Apple"]

Answer 2

store = {"Orange": 2, "Watermelon": 0, "Apple": 8, "Banana": 42}

#your code goes here
# print the 8 that's after Apple, you'd print store["Apple"]

print(store["Apple"])

Answer 3

It's simple the fruit name "Apple" is the key and the value is "8".

Answer 4

Thank you, blackfish and Slick. I had something similar but the code wouldn't work. I probably over complicated it.
