Build a User Configuration Manager - Build a User Configuration Manager

Python

Tell us what’s happening:

  1. For add_setting and update_setting, I do not meet the requirement that wants me to convert the key and values to lower case; is there another method I should be using?

  2. For view_settings, why cant I return the strings in the way I did – it only shows ‘Current User Settings:’ and doesn’t show the actual key and value pairs.

Thanks

Your code so far

test_settings = {
    'theme': 'dark',
    'notifications': 'enabled',
    'volume': 'high'
}

import re

def add_setting(dictionary, key_value):
    key, val = key_value
    key = key.lower()
    val = val.lower()
    key_list = str(dictionary.keys())
    if re.search(key, key_list):
        return f"Setting {key} already exists! Cannot add a new setting with this name."
    else:
        dictionary.update({'key': 'val'})
        return f"Setting '{key}' added with value '{val}' successfully!" 

def update_setting(dictionary, key_value):
    key, val = key_value
    key = key.lower()
    val = val.lower()
    key_list = str(dictionary.keys())
    if re.search(key, key_list):
        dictionary.update({'key': 'val'})
        return f"Setting '{key}' updated to '{val}' successfully!"
    else:
        return f"Setting '{key}' does not exist! Cannot update a non-existing setting."

def delete_setting(dictionary, key):
    key = key.lower()
    key_list = str(dictionary.keys())
    if not re.search(key, key_list):
        return 'Setting not found!'
    else:
         del dictionary[key]
         return f"Setting '{key}' deleted successfully!"

def view_settings(dictionary):
    if dictionary == {}:
        return 'No settings available.'
    else:
        return "Current User Settings:"
        for key, val in dictionary.items():
            return f"{key.capitalize()}: {val}"

print(add_setting({'theme': 'light'}, ('THEME', 'dark')))

print(add_setting({'theme': 'light'}, ('volume', 'high')))

print(update_setting({'theme': 'light'}, ('theme', 'dark')))

print(update_setting({'theme': 'light'}, ('volume', 'high')))

print(delete_setting({'theme': 'light'}, 'theme'))

print(view_settings({'theme': 'dark', 'notifications': 'enabled', 'volume': 'high'}) )

What does this line do? (It doesn’t do what you want it to be doing)

A return statement immediately stops the function and no further code runs inside of the function after return.
