working with lists and dictionaries in python code example

Example 1: How are Python dictionaries different from Python lists?

list1 = ["a", "b" ,"c"] # a bunch of things 
dictionary1 = {"a":1, "b":2, "c":3} # like a list but each part of it has an associated extra bit

Example 2: python list of dictionaries

new_player1 = { 'firstName': 'LaMarcus', 'lastName': 'Aldridge', 'jersey': '12', 'heightMeters': '2.11', 'nbaDebutYear': '2006', 'weightKilograms': '117.9'}
            new_player2 = { 'firstName': 'LeBron', 'lastName': 'James', 'jersey': '2', 'heightMeters': '2.03', 'nbaDebutYear': '2003', 'weightKilograms': '113.4' }
            new_player3 = { 'firstName': 'Kawhi', 'lastName': 'Leonard', 'jersey': '2', 'heightMeters': '2.01', 'nbaDebutYear': '2011', 'weightKilograms': '104.3' }  
  
  nba_players = []
  nba_players.append(player)
  nba_players.append(new_player1)
  nba_players.append(new_player2)
  nba_players.append(new_player3)

Example 3: python dictionary with list

dictionary = {"one": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], "two": "something"}
print(dictionary["one"][2])
