Here is a screencast on how to use code tags. They are essential for Python code.

Not very. Remember how dictionary lookups work? If you have

d = {'a':1, 'b':3, 'c':43}

then what would you do to look up a value in d?

I think I put my reply on my name and not your name.
Please tell me if I'm closer this time?. I really want to get better at python and I like to try and figure out puzzles problems on python. This is what I think you wanted me to do.

#params = {'foo':10,'bar':20,'baz':30'}
#I can leave it as an integer
foo=10
#I can also convert an integer into a string and reverse the process.
bar=13
baz="This is a number..."
bar=str(bar)
print baz+bar
#This is my favourite hockey players number...13
#We can also reverse the process...
baz ='30'
bar=20
print int(baz)+bar
#The answer will show 50.

Just an FYI on code tags - the code must go between the code tags.

You can also insert a bunch of code, highlight it with your cursor, and click the "[CODE]" button in the reply control panel.
