Hi guys,

Am trying to put the lists row1 as the values of a dictionary rowChoice,
for example playerMarker is 'X' and move is '7', am trying to pass the value of playerMarker -> rowChoice[7] (rowChoice[move]) -> row1[0] -> row1.

I am able to assign rowChoice[7] the value, but not row1[0] and row1. Please assist. Thanks
