Tell us what’s happening:

Hi i have already converted key to lowercase in update_setting function but i am still being prompted on it. Can’t seem to identify the issue here. Can someone please assist on this?

Your code so far

test_settings = {
    'theme': 'dark',
    'Brightness': '75',
    'Notifications': 'enabled',
    'Volume': 'high'    
}


def add_setting(settings, key_val):
    if isinstance(key_val, tuple):
        key, val = key_val
        key = key.lower()
        val = val.lower()
        print(key, val)
    for setting in settings.items():
        if key in setting:
            return f"Setting '{key}' already exists! Cannot add a new setting with this name."
            break
        else:
            settings[key] = val
            return f"Setting '{key}' added with value '{val}' successfully!"
            break



def update_setting(settings, keyval):
    key, val = keyval
    key = key.lower()
    val = val.lower()
    if key in settings.items():
        settings.update([keyval])
        print(settings)
        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(settings, keyval):
    key, val = keyval
    key = key.lower()
    val = val.lower()


def view_setting(settings):
    if not settings:
        return 'No settings available.'
    else:
        pass

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

Hello @stario

There are a few issues in your code.

First, you’re incorrectly checking if key is already in the dictionnary. You’re doing :

But this is not how you’re supposed to do it. You should be doing :

removed by moderator

The way you’re doing it seems to always return False.

You’re also not updating your dictionnary correctly. You should have :

removed by moderator

By doing so, you’re correctly calling the update function and using the lowercase key.

Hope this helps.

Happy coding :slight_smile:
