Sorry.. forgot to ask another thing related to this:
1. For the example below, how would I refer to JUST the key, value
referred to in the iteration of the for loop?
for key,value in argumentList.items():
print ?
2. Additionally, you can access a certain element of a list by using
a numerical subscript (like [1] - like an array). If, let's say,
there's one key & corresponding value in a dictionary, then how would
I reference that value - to let's say - print it out?
Finally... if you know of a website that I could visit to get the
specs of syntax, please let me know (so I can stop asking these simple
questions!).
Thanks again for your help,
kc
