How can i create a LIST, DICTIONARY and TUPLE with user input?

Answer 1

Lists and tuples can be easily generated from strings depending on how you wish to split them. A primitive example:

usr_inp = input()
print(list(usr_inp))
print(tuple(usr_inp))

A dictionary is tricker. You can rely on literal_eval

https://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html#ast.literal_eval

or just parse it yourself if you can be sure that the input string will always conform to how a dict is represented in Python.

Answer 2

On SL you can try the following way of getting the user to enter a dictionary in python.

out_dct={i.strip():j.strip() for i,j in [tuple(k.split(':')) for k in input().split(',') ]}
print(out_dct)

Enter text on one line as:

a : apple juice, b : banana juice , c : carrot juice

One element at a time 🤗

Answer 4

To show in SL how your code works you can use samples or random data.

Answer 5

mm not entirely sure what you mean, but you can use the exec function to execute python code based on input and string value (in this example I entered the value of “test” in input to create a list)

createlist = input() + " = []"
exec(createlist)

#I entered “test” as input which created a list named test
test.append("hi")
print(test)

however, I would assume this method should be avoided if at all possible...
