change mark

[vlady]

hello

I have a problem concerning of changing mark. I don´t understand why it doesn´t work...thought the old_mark is type LIST. It works for one student and not for more (for loop) Pls can you help me?
Thanks Vlady

def change_mark(changed_mark):
    for student in changed_mark:
        old_mark=changed_mark[student]
        position=old_mark.index[old_mark]   
        old_mark[position] = raw_input('new_mark')
        print changed_mark

## approach for one student:

##    old_mark=changed_mark['vlado']
##    position = old_mark.index('a')
##    old_mark[position] = raw_input('new_mark')
##    print changed_mark


def main():
    changed_mark={'vlado': [u'a'], 'juraj': [u'b'], 'alica': [u'c'], 'peto': [u'a'],
    'natalia': [u'b'], 'roman': [u'c'], 'kristina': [u'a'], 'silvia': [u'b']}
    change_mark(changed_mark)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

[I][B]position=old_mark.index[old_mark][/B][/I]  # are you sure old_mark has an index....?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but remember you can always replace the value in a dictionary pair by doing:

dic[old_key] = new_value

Good luck :-)
