Returning dictionary from a function

This instruction created a new dicky dict for every iteration:
diky={chr(a):a}

What you want is to add items to the same dict, that you later output.
The normal way to do it is:
diky[chr(a)] = a

Your fixed code:

def values(x):
    diky = {}
    for i in xrange(x):
        i += 100
        diky[chr(i)] = i
    print diky
    return diky

b = values(5)
print type(b), len(b), b['f']
print type(b), len(b), b['h']
