Special arrays in python

Question

this is the input array

Array= [{Client: 1, Budget: 520, Name: "Oscar"},{Client: 2, Budget: 430, Name: "Jane"}]

Hi, is there anyway to access this array in that way:

print(Array[0])

=> {Client: 1, Budget: 520, Name: "Oscar"}

print(Array[0][Budget])

=> 520

I have checked with dictionaries but apparently dictionaries requires " " ie {Name: "Oscar"} should be {‘Name’:"Oscar"} which is not out input

You have an inconsistency in your input data. First of all, let’s consider that this is an array of dictionaries, so index access is allowed.

According to your example: Client, Budget and Name are pre-defined variables. In that case you can access but using a value behind, which in my opinion leads to a design error.

Anyway I will show you an example:

Client = 'client'
Budget = 'budget'
Name = 'name'

Array= [{Client: 1, Budget: 520, Name: "Oscar"},{Client: 2, Budget: 430, Name: "Jane"}]

Now you can access the data the way you wanted.

print(Array[0])

{Client: 1, Budget: 520, Name: "Oscar"}

print(Array[0][Budget])

520

Consider using quotes in key names to avoid unnecessary references.
