Looping through a dictionary for every other value

[fad3r]

It is for dictionary, This is the challenge i was given.

Here is the complete code. I am now running into issues with the original dictionary being out of scope and then new problems when I try to use global.

Complete code as it stands

mport string
letlist = list(string.ascii_lowercase)


#Create string of letters
letstring = string.ascii_lowercase

#Create list of numbers
list1=[]
for i in range (1, 27):
    list1.append(i)

#Create dictionary for part 1
def dictfunc():
    global zipped
    zipped = dict(zip(list1,letlist))

dictfunc()


def test ():
    for a in zipped:
        return a[::2]
    print (a)

Errors:
File "C:/Users/c0unt3rpl4y/PycharmProjects/House/scratchpad.py", line 26, in <module>
test()
File "C:/Users/c0unt3rpl4y/PycharmProjects/House/scratchpad.py", line 23, in test
return a[::2]
TypeError: 'int' object is not subscriptable

I am really new to this so I keep googling various ideas and then taking snippets of code and throwing them in and trying to make them work.

I will try it your way now and see if that works better

Your code snipped

for num in zipped:
    if num % 2:
        print(num)

Does indeed return the odds numbers but it does not return every other value of the dictionary which is the final piece of it. I think I need to maybe use index?
