I’m trying to create a dict to not use lots of if statements, but for some reason, I cannot seem to make it work the way I want. I’m trying to pull out only the keys from the dict when the correspond to the inputted day.

Thanks in advance.

edit: expected input/output

day = str(input())

day_price_dict = {12: ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Friday'], 14: ['Wednesday', 'Thursday'], 16: ['Saturday', 'Sunday']}

if day in day_price_dict:
    print(day_price_dict[day])

>Solution :

Following should do what you want:

# example: day = 'Tuesday'
day = str(input())

day_price_dict = {12: ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Friday'], 14: ['Wednesday', 'Thursday'], 16: ['Saturday', 'Sunday']}

# iterate through dict keys (12, 14, 16)
for key in day_price_dict:
    # if input is in the value list, print the key
    if day in day_price_dict[key]:
        # print 12
        print(key)
