Editing string in a list inside a dictionary in python3
0
If I have a dictionary like this:
{'alfa': ['Computer Science'], 'beta': ['book', 'CompUter']}
And I want to turn it into a dictionary like this:
{'alfa': ['computer science'], 'beta': ['book', 'computer']}
So basically turn the words into lowercase letters.
for this i know I would need the function lower().
However, I do not know how to access the words inside the dictionary, so that I could use this function.
Before putting the list into the dictionary, I tried this:
for z in wordlist:
z.lower()
But it didn't do anything to the words.

It's probably easier to just replace elements instead of thinking of "editing" them. (Strings must be done this way.) Try looping over your dictionary and replacing the values with a list comprehension that lowercases everything in the list?

(This assumes your data structure is pretty uniformly like what you showed. You need to add to your requirements if you have "misbehaving" keys or values.)

my_dict = {'alfa': ['Computer Science'], 'beta': ['book', 'CompUter']}
for key in my_dict:
my_dict[key] = [my_str.lower() for my_str in my_dict[key]]
print(my_dict)
Output:
{'alfa': ['computer science'], 'beta': ['book', 'computer']}
