word= 'even'
dict2 = {'i': 1, 'n': 1, 'e': 1, 'l': 2, 'v': 2}
i want to know if word is entirely composed of letters in dict2
my approach:
step 1 : convert word to dictionary(dict1)
step2:
for k in dict1.keys():
if k in dict2:
if dict1[k] != dict2[k]:
return False
return True
return False
return True
by adding a print statement i can see that this simply ends too early
e.g. as soon as the first IF condition is met the loop exits
i think this is easy but google and python doc didn't return any good
hints so i'm trying here.
Thanks Baba
