Get value from dictionaries in a dictionary-CodePudding

I have a dictionary of dictionaries with numbers inside. I would like to get all numbers from different named dictionaries(string).

x={"stringdict1":{"number":56},"stringdictx":{"number":48}}

I'm looking for this: 56, 48.

It is not clear to me how I can get inside different "stringed" dictionaries. I tried this (and a few other silly variations):

for numbers in dict[:]:
    print(numbers)

The problem for me is the different names(str) of the dictionary titles, but containing the same keys inside.

Iterate over the dictionary items and check for the number key inside the sub-dictionaries.

for key, sub_dict in x.items():
    print(sub_dict['number'])

P.S. Don't use dict as variable name, you would overwrite the built-in functionality.

Okay so you will have to use nested for loop in order to get the inner value of a dictionary. Try this:

x={"stringdict1":{"number":56},
   "stringdictx":{"number":48}}

for i in x:
    for j in x[i]:
        print(x[i][j])

Do let me know if you find a better solution, as this is not very efficient with respect to the time and space complexities :)

CodePudding user response：

You don't care about the keys in the outer dictionary, so iterate over the values:

for v in x.values():
    print(v['number'])
