I have this code:
import json
dictionary = {}
variable = 0
for i in range(5):
variable = 1
dictionary['number'] = variable
print(json.dumps(dictionary))
Output: {"number": 5}
I think my code just changing value in dictionary instead of creating new one. I want the dictionary look like this:
{"number": 1, "number": 2, "number": 3, "number": 4, "number": 5}
i know that i can do this:
{"number": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}
but i want to do like i said before. I just want json with the same keys and different variables so if there is another option to achieve my goal, then tell me.

You can't have multiple of the same key but you can have a list of multiple values for the one key:
import json
dictionary = {}
variable = 0
dictionary['number'] = []
for i in range(5):
variable = 1
dictionary['number'].append(variable)
print(json.dumps(dictionary))
CodePudding user response:
This isn't possible with Python dictionaries. Python will always overwrite a key if you try to use it more than once.
You could try a list of single key-value dicts to get close:
[{"number": 1}, {"number": 2}, {"number": 3}, {"number": 4}, {"number": 5}]
