Using a dictionary key in a for loop or if statement

Question

I want to use strings from a list to find keys in a dictionary so that I can return the associated value. This is what I’ve tried but my syntax is wrong:

dict = {‘foot’:12.0, ‘cm’:0.394, ‘yard’:36.0}
list = [‘foot’, ‘yard’]

for unit in list:
for meas in dict:
if unit == dict[meas][0]:
Print(dict[meas][1]

Answer 1

Jan Markus what is the ‘_’ after the names? Is it part of the syntax?
