Question

Hi, just wanted to know if it's possible to assign multiple keys to a value, in the case of a scrabble game where vowels and selected letters are assigned value 1. I could do practically do it manually for 26 times but was just curious to know if there's another more time-friendly way. Tried (a,e,i,o,u):1 but that doesn't work. Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

Answer 1

IF I understood correctly you want {'A':1, 'B': 2,...

If a value is a literal I can't understand how you will this. You could use eval but I think you will be monsterizing the solution. Indirection can be very difficult to understand.

Hope this helps.
