TypeError: 'dict_values' object is not subscriptable in Python

Dung Do Tien Jun 01 2022 660

Hi everyone. Today is the third day I'm learning Python and I want to learn about objects and arrays. I was trying to create an object and read all keys and values of it by using values() and keys() methods, like this:

 name = input("Enter your name: ")
age = int(input("Enter your age: "))
my_obj = {'name': name, 'age': age}

lstValue = my_obj.values()
lstKey = my_obj.keys()

print(lstKey[0] + "= " + lstValue[0])
print(lstKey[1] + "= " + lstValue[1])

But when running the app after entering a name and age I got an exception TypeError: 'dict_values' object is not subscriptable.

 Enter your name: python
Enter your age: 32
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 8, in <module>
    print(lstValue[0] + "= " + lstKey[0])
TypeError: 'dict_values' object is not subscriptable

I'm using VS 2022 and Python version 3.9.7.

Please help me if you know any solution!

Thanks in advance.

    The my_obj.keys() and my_obj.values() methods return an object, not an array. So you can not access it by index.

    Solution: use list() built-in method to help convert an object to an array. See example:

     name = input("Enter your name: ")
    age = int(input("Enter your age: "))
    my_obj  = {'name': name, 'age': age}
    
    lstValue = list(my_obj.values())
    lstKey = list(my_obj.keys())
    
    print(lstKey[0] + "= " + lstValue[0])
    print(lstKey[1] + "= " + str(lstValue[1]))

    #Output

     Enter your name: Python
    Enter your age: 33
    name= Python
    age= 33
