I have been looking around to see if anyone has actually done it but couldn't find it so hoping I can get some help here.
newDict = {'Jan':31, 'Feb':29, 'Mar':31, 'Apr':30, 'May':31, 'Jun':30, 'Jul':31, 'Aug':30}
I created this dict and I want to use a while
loop to output it this way:
Jan 31
Feb 29
Mar 31
Apr 30
May 31
Jun 30
Jul 31
Aug 30
I am able to do it with a for
loop, just curious how it can be done with a while
loop.
You can make your dictionary an iterator
calling iteritems
(Python 2.x), or iter
on the items()
(Python 3.x)
# Python 2.x
from __future__ import print_function
items = newDict.iteritems()
# Python 3.x
items = iter(newDict.items())
while True:
try:
item = next(items)
print(*item)
except StopIteration:
break
Note: We're importing print_function
on Python 2.x because print
would be a statement instead of a function, and hence the line print(*item)
would actually fail
