Imagine that in an experiment a participant draws a signal:
Senal1_part1 = random.choice("ABCD")
Senal1_part2 = random.choice("ABCD")
I create a dictionary where I want to store the signals that that participant will observe throughout the experiment. I want the assigned signal to be added with value 1 to the dictionary.
Memoria_part2 = {"A":0, "B":0, "C":0, "D":0}
How can I store the value in the dictionary?
To refer to a key of a dictionary, you just have to do:
diccionario[clave]
If every time a signal comes out you want to add 1 to the value of that key in the dictionary you just have to do:
diccionario[clave] += 1
For example:
import random
Memoria_part2 = {"A":0,"B":0,"C":0,"D":0}
for n in range(10):
Senal1_part2= random.choice("ABCD")
Memoria_part2[Senal1_part2] += 1
print(Memoria_part2)
Exit:
{'D': 2, 'B': 0, 'A': 6, 'C': 2}
