How do i append into dict?

[newbieAuggie2019]

Alternative approach could be:

>>> patients = [input('Enter new patient name: ') for patient in range(3)]
Enter new patient name: Bob
Enter new patient name: Alice
Enter new patient name: Guido
>>> print(*patients, sep='\n')
Bob
Alice
Guido

Pretty coool.. what this * operator mean here?

The operator * separates the elements of a list by space.

There are different ways of printing the elements of a list. You can see in this program some of them:

patients = ['Bob', 'Alice', 'Guido', 'Janet', 'Pamela']
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


# Printing the list using a loop:
print("\n\nThese are the lists using a loop with elements printed in different lines:\n")
for x in range(len(patients)):
    print(patients[x])

print()

for x in range(len(numbers)):
    print(numbers[x])

# Printing the list using a loop:
print("\n\nThese are the same lists using a loop with elements printed in the same line:\n")
for x in range(len(patients)):
    print(patients[x], end=" ")

print()

for x in range(len(numbers)):
    print(numbers[x], end=" ")
    
# Printing the list without a loop, using
# the operator *, that separates the elements
# of the list by space:

print("\n\nThese are the same lists without a loop, using the operator *, that separates the elements of the list by space:\n")
print(*patients)
print()
print(*numbers)

# Printing the list without a loop, using
# the operator *, and sep operator with commas:

print("\n\nThese are the same lists without a loop, using the operator *, and sep operator with commas:\n") 
  
print(*patients, sep = ", ")
print()
print(*numbers, sep = ", ")
  
# Printing the list without a loop, using
# the operator *, and sep operator with new line:

print("\n\nThese are the same lists without a loop, using the operator *, and sep operator with new line:\n") 
  
print(*patients, sep = "\n")
print()
print(*numbers, sep = "\n")

And here the output explaining what has been done:

Output:
These are the lists using a loop with elements printed in different lines:

Bob
Alice
Guido
Janet
Pamela

1
2
3
4
5


These are the same lists using a loop with elements printed in the same line:

Bob Alice Guido Janet Pamela 
1 2 3 4 5 

These are the same lists without a loop, using the operator *, that separates the elements of the list by space:

Bob Alice Guido Janet Pamela

1 2 3 4 5


These are the same lists without a loop, using the operator *, and sep operator with commas:

Bob, Alice, Guido, Janet, Pamela

1, 2, 3, 4, 5


These are the same lists without a loop, using the operator *, and sep operator with new line:

Bob
Alice
Guido
Janet
Pamela

1
2
3
4
5

I hope this could clarify this to you or somebody else.
