How to assign value to variable in list [PYTHON]-CodePudding

How can I do something like this on python :

class Game:
    
    def __init__(self, size: int):
        self.settings = { 
            'timeout_turn' = 0
            'timeout_match' = 0
            'max_memory' = 0
            'time_left' = 2147483647
            'game_type' = 0
            'rule' = 0
            'evaluate' = 0
            'folder' = './'
            }

there is an error, I think this is not the right way to do it but I didn't find an other solution.

Thanks in advance

To make it work you need to replace the = by and : and add a , after every entry.

class Game:
    def __init__(self, size: int):
        self.settings = { 
            'timeout_turn': 0,
            'timeout_match': 0,
            'max_memory': 0,
            'time_left': 2147483647,
            'game_type': 0,
            'rule': 0,
            'evaluate': 0,
            'folder': './'
        }

By doing this you are creating a class variable named settings that is of type dictionary. Dictionaries are also known as maps in other languages. They use immutable values as indexes (keys) instead of numbers like in lists.

here you go but it's a dictionnary not a list

class Game:
    def __init__(self, size: int):
    self.settings = { 
        'timeout_turn' : 0,
        'timeout_match' : 0,
        'max_memory' : 0,
        'time_left' : 2147483647,
        'game_type' : 0,
        'rule' : 0,
        'evaluate' : 0,
        'folder' : './',
        }

If you want your settings data to be a dictionnary : instead of = to affect value to the key (variable name).

If you just want to create new variables you could do it like that :

class Game:

def __init__(self, size: int):
    self.timeout_turn=0
    self.max_memory=0
    ....
        
    }
