I need help with lists and dictionaries.

Question

So, I am currently learning in the python course and currently I'm experiencing some troubles with lists & dictionaries. There is probably just something that is super simple that I don't see, but here it is. So, during the questions of the dictionary stuff it keeps asking questions about the results of code with print(name[name[1]]) and I don't understand why they put the key/value location behind name in the print command, if I could get help on this it would be appreciated.

Answer 1

The result of name[1] is used as a key to get another item from the dictionary:

name = {0: 1, 1: 2, 2: 3, 3: 4, 4: 5}

print(name[1]) #2
print(name[name[1]]) #3
#same as
print(name[2]) #because name[1]=2
print(name[name[1]] == name[2]) #True: same value
print(name[name[1]] is name[2]) #True: same object

Answer 2

Thanks! Hopefully this works, looks pretty legit.
