What is a 'bucket'? I think that I may be over-thinking this. I know that a dictionary is a list of 'key: value' pairs. Is a bucket simply the slot where a pair would go? I am wondering if a bucket is a slot where multiple tuples would go. Like if a dictionary is horizontal, then I am wondering if a bucket then is a vertical slot that can have lots of tuples. Lists within lists.. Then again, perhaps it is just a slot that only holds one key:value pair. I am on Zed Shaw's book in EX 39, and his description is a little odd.<br>> > <br>> > Let me know, thanks,<br>> > <br>> > Tim<br>> > <br>> <br>> <br>> ------------------------------<br>> <br>> Subject: Digest Footer<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> CentralOH mailing list<br>> CentralOH@python.org<br>> https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/centraloh<br>> <br>> <br>> ------------------------------<br>> <br>> End of CentralOH Digest, Vol 91, Issue 16<br>> *****************************************<br></div> </div></body>
