Accessing elements of Python dictionary by index

by

Given that it is a dictionary you access it by using the keys. Getting the dictionary stored under “Apple”, do the following:

>>> mydict["Apple"]
{'American': '16', 'Mexican': 10, 'Chinese': 5}

And getting how many of them are American (16), do like this:

>>> mydict["Apple"]["American"]
'16'
