I want to be able to add an attribute to a dictionary but only if the condition I pass in is true. For example:
def addSum(num):
obj = {
'name': "Home",
'url': "/",
num > 0 ? 'data': num
}
Is this possible? I can't find a way to do this in python, I have only seen examples in javascript.
obj = {
'name': 'Home',
'url': '/',
**({'data': num} if num > 0 else {})
}
:D
You can't do it with quite that syntax. For one thing, you need Python, not Java/C.
(1) add the attribute, but set to None:
obj = {'name': "Home",
'url': "/",
'data': num if num > 0 else None
}
(2) make it an add-on:
obj = {'name': "Home",
'url': "/"}
if num > 0:
obj['data'] = num
Just add/check it in separate statement:
def addSum(num):
obj = {
'name': "Home",
'url': "/"
}
if num > 0: obj['data'] = num
return obj
print(addSum(3)) # {'name': 'Home', 'url': '/', 'data': 3}
print(addSum(0)) # {'name': 'Home', 'url': '/'}
Create the dictionary without the optional element, then add it in an if statement
def addSum(num):
obj = {
'name': "Home",
'url': "/"
}
if num > 0:
obj['data'] = num;
Yes, just create the dictionary without the attribute, then create an if statement to add it if the condition is true:
def addSum(num):
obj = {
'name': "Home",
'url': "/",
}
if num > 0:
obj['data'] = num
return obj
objis a dictionary, not an object.
