Appending a dictionary to a list in a a loop Python

Question

I am a basic python programmer so hopefully the answer to my question will be easy. I am trying to take a dictionary and append it to a list. The dictionary then changes val

Answer 1

When you create the adict dictionary outside of the loop, you are appending the same dict to your alist list. It means that all the copies point to the same dictionary and you are getting the last value {1:99} every time. Just create every dictionary inside the loop and now you have your 100 different dictionaries.

alist = []
for x in range(100):
    adict = {1:x}
    alist.append(adict)
print(alist)
