My Code:
my_dict = {}
for i in range(len(keys)):
my_dict[keys[i]] = values[i]
print(my_dict)
What I expected to happen:
Nice Work!
What actually happened:
“my_dict isn’t defined in your code, but we expected it to be dict type”
I did run your exact code and it was accepted. Can you refresh the console and try again?
I did . Now it is accepted but after many refreshes. I get also same type of errors from the next problems in the section. After a few refreshes my solutions are accepted…
How can I communicate with him ? The problem does persists
Please raise a support ticket by clicking on the question mark icon on the top right side of the mission screen.
Your code works.
However, you don’t need to create range and a for loop to iterate keys and values.
Use zip to iterate (keys[i], values[i]) tuple at each index i. No object is created, zip uses iterators to access each paired values. The number of paired tuple (keys[i], values[i]) = length of whichever is shorter (keys or values.) You can use print(list(zip(keys, values))) to see what zip does.
my_dict = dict(zip(keys, values))
Sorry about that, this is a known issue:
However, it is strange for the error to persists after reloading the page. Can you try doing a hard refresh?
