[Tutor] How to calculate high value from multiple lines for each column

[Fosiul Alam]

Hi Alan
I am little bit confused about the statement,

bellow is from your previuos comments

>                 if fields[0] in s_value:
>                         s_value[fields[0]].append(fields[10])
>                 else:
>                         s_value[fields[0]]=[fields[10]]
>

We can tidy that up using the setdefault() method:

          data = values.setdefault(fields[0],[ [],[] ])     # return
lists if avail else empty lists
          data[0],append(float(fields[10])
          data[1],append(float(fields[11])

how ami I gettign the "values" ? as its not defiend anywhere, so how we
putting data into variables "values" ?

Thanks fror the help
