Using dictionary on python

Question

I am trying to learn python. Just downloaded the latest version and trying to figure out how to use dictionary if I am not importing the data. If I wanted to have a user enter their first and last name, and how old they are- is there a way to keep asking the user to input the values, and have the dictionary automatically assign a key? for example-

inputs:Homer Simpson, age 43 - Mr. Burns 82, Ned Flanders 43 output: 1(key) Homer Simpson 43 2 Mr. Burns 82 3 Ned Flanders 43 name=[] age=[] dict1=[] while True: lastName=input('Please enter name or done to exit: ') age=input('Please enter age: ') if lastName!='done': dict1.append({string:name+ age}) else: print(dict1) break

Try this, loops until you don't enter a name, increments the current key each iteration:

dct = {} i = 1 while(True): name = input("Please enter a name: ") if name == "": break age = input("Please enter an age: ") dct[i] = {"name": name, "age": age} i += 1 print(dct)

Example input/output:

Please enter a name: Chris Please enter an age: 23 Please enter a name: Daryll Please enter an age: 22 Please enter a name: {1: {'name': 'Chris', 'age': '23'}, 2: {'name': 'Daryll', 'age': '22'}}
