Looping seems to not follow sequence

Question

I feel like I\'m missing something obvious here!

seq = {\'a\': [\'1\'], \'aa\': [\'2\'], \'aaa\': [\'3\'], \'aaaa\': [\'4\'], \'aaaaa\': [\'5\']}
for s in seq         


        

Answer 1

why you don't do (dictionary are not ordered):

for s in range(5):
    print 'a'*s

Edit : ok as you which :)

the thing is in the expression : 'a'*s which mean create a new string which contain s time 'a'.

in the python interpreter you can play with it (isn't python wonderful :) )

>>> print 'a'*2
aa
>>> print 'a'*3
aaa 

PS: if you're new to python i will suggest that you use ipython if you don't use it yet.
