call dict object result key error - lateublegende - May-14-2019

hello, my program include a dict, but when I try to call a object of the dict, that result with a KeyEror

actualsearch=0
dict={ 0: 41, 1: 41, 2: 41, }

if dict[int(actualsearch)]==41: #I try int and str, but both dosen't work
    do something
    actualsearch=actualsearch+1

I want to call the dict object whit the var actualsearch, but they call this error

Error:if dict[int(actualsearch)]==41:
KeyError: '0'

if you can help my, I will be thankful

Actually, your code works as it is now. The KeyError '0' , i.e. - the key is str shown suggest you tried with

if dict[str(actualsearch)]==41:

actualsearch=0
dict={0:41, 1:41, 2:41}
 
if dict[int(actualsearch)]==41: #I try int and str, but both dosen't work
    actualsearch=actualsearch+1
    print(actualsearch)

output

Output:
1

several other things

1. don't use dict as variable name, it's a built-in function and you override it
2. actualsearch is int, the keys in the dict are also int. there is no need of any conversion
3. it's good to use dict.get() method to avoid KeyError if key is missing

actual_search = 0
my_dict = {0:41, 1:41, 2:41}
 
if my_dict.get(actual_search) == 41:
    # do something
    actual_search += 1

the dict name was for the example, is not the real name, and thank for the help!
