Learn | Python | After Scratch | Dictionary | II

Part 2. We get match scores from a user, use the same code to calculate the match points, and then create a match points dictionary that is then used to update the league, also stored in a python dictionary.

This video follows on from the exercise challenge seen in the previous videos and is the second of two videos that show how we can use a python dictionary to store a table.

Learn python after Scratch using this exercise to build on what you have learnt. Input, variables, if statements, loops, lists, functions and now dictionaries all in one exercise. Break the problem down into parts, testing your python code as you go. If you need help then use the videos, see below, or ask us for help in a comment and we will assist with any enquiry. Enjoy and Good luck!

What should you learn after Scratch? You want to continue to code, so learn python after scratch. You can use your scratch skills when you move from scratch to Python. This series of videos on a YouTube playlist will show you how to use scratch to learn python basics. Use your scratch knowledge like controls, if, if else, repeat loops, forever loops, operators, variables, lists, broadcasts, say and ask, and we will show you how to write these in python code.

Many people learn scratch as their first programming language because it is easy-to-learn, fun and free. But moving from block programming to another language is not so easy. There does not seem to be anything that follows scratch. So, what to learn after Scratch? Python is a good language to learn, but can you use any of your knowledge that you have from scratch programming to learn python? Yes, you can. There are many concepts that you already know from scratch that can help you learn the basics of python. Good luck with your coding!
