Question 8 #22

I have been working on this question for a while but i still do not understand how to get the values for each factor into a list on the dictionary. You said use the enumerate function but I don't know exactly where to put it

You'd want to make a loop with a conditional bit inside it to check if the factor is already in the dictionary and append it the value if it is.

[loop]
    if [factor] in [dictionary]:
        [dictionary[factor]].append([value])

If the factor isn't in the dictionary already, you're gonna want to initialize the factor with the initial value in a list.

    else:
        [dictionary[factor]] = []
        [dictionary[factor]].append([value])

as long as you can keep track of the index for both the factor and value in each list, this should do the trick
