Telegram – how to print specific list of items from a dict in python?

i am trying to print only the "s" & "t" values from the dictionary of app_locate using the input_list list of [‘s’ , ‘t’] but i get the whole list of app_locate instead.

user_input = 'st'

input_list = list(user_input)


app_locate = {
    's' : r'C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteam.exe',
    'd' : r'C:UsersUserAppDataLocalDiscordapp-1.0.9036Discord.exe',
    't' : r'C:UsersUserAppDataRoamingTelegram DesktopTelegram.exe',
    'f' : r'C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe',
}
    
for input_list in app_locate:
    print(app_locate[input_list])

im not sure what im doing wrong here.

im rather new to python, sorry!

thank you for your help

    You do not need to convert user input to a list as you can just iterate over the string as follows:

    user_input = 'st'

app_locate = {
    's' : r'C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteam.exe',
    'd' : r'C:UsersUserAppDataLocalDiscordapp-1.0.9036Discord.exe',
    't' : r'C:UsersUserAppDataRoamingTelegram DesktopTelegram.exe',
    'f' : r'C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe',
}
    
for key in user_input:
    print(app_locate.get(key, f"Key {key} not found"))

    It seems like you’re iterating over the keys of the app_locate dictionary instead of iterating over the items in the input_list. You need to iterate over the input_list and check if each character is in the app_locate dictionary. Here’s the corrected version of your code:

    user_input = 'st'

input_list = list(user_input)

app_locate = {
    's' : r'C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteam.exe',
    'd' : r'C:UsersUserAppDataLocalDiscordapp-1.0.9036Discord.exe',
    't' : r'C:UsersUserAppDataRoamingTelegram DesktopTelegram.exe',
    'f' : r'C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe',
}
    
for char in input_list:
    if char in app_locate:
        print(app_locate[char])

    This code will iterate over each character in input_list and check if it exists as a key in the app_locate dictionary. If it does, it will print the corresponding value. This way, only the values associated with ‘s’ and ‘t’ will be printed.
