Random dictionary pick?

Question

I am pretty newbie to python, still learning. Here i faced a problem i can't figure out how to solve yet.

import random materials = ["wood", "stone", "iron"] wood = { "name": "wood", "weight": 50, "quality": 1 } stone = { "name": "stone", "weight": 80, "quality": 2 } iron = { "name": "iron", "weight": 110, "quality": 3 } r = random.choice(materials)

Basically what i wanted to do is to print a specific dictionary depends from the r - random pick. Any tips on how to do that correctly?

You should use object type instead of string, from

materials = ["wood", "stone", "iron"]

to

materials = [wood, stone, iron]

And you should also call this after assign those object.

I'd say just use a list of dictionaries. The random pick will be the dictionary in that case:

import random materials = [{ "name": "wood", "weight": 50, "quality": 1 }, { "name": "stone", "weight": 80, "quality": 2 }, { "name": "iron", "weight": 110, "quality": 3 }] r = random.choice(materials) print(r)
