PyCharm seems to indicate that my variable in my for loop is a dictionary. But I can't access it like such. For instance for i in range(10): the i shows as a dictionary when I hover over it.

I am expecting to be able to access the variable like a dictionary and print values().

No, the variable i in the inside of a for i in range(10): block is not a dictionary (assuming range is actually the built-in Python function and has not been replaced with something bonkers). It's an ordinary integer value. If your IDE is telling you otherwise, then your IDE is incorrect.

CodePudding user response：

If familiar with C /C think of i in the same manor that you would have in the for loop:

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i  ) 
{
cout << i << "\n";
}

This would translate in python to:

for i in range (5):
 i =1

Where 'i' is essentially a temp variable holding manipulated data rather than a dictionary or something that holds actual reliable data.
