896 Points"Items" in Dictionary videos
Where were "items" covered in the Dictionary videos in Python Collections?

896 PointsIt was from the last item in the last challenge. I didn't understand the solution as well as I wanted to, and in researching I found a reference to "items". I wanted to go back and re-watch the video that explained "items".

21,422 PointsIs there a particular quiz question or challenge you are referring to with "items"? I found the last question in the first challenge where it asks you to create an new key value pair with the key being "items", and the value is another dictionary. The key thing to remember with dictionaries (no pun intended) is that they are similar to arrays, but rather than having an index, each value has a key, forming a key:value pair. So if you want to access an item (value), you would use the key to get that value rather than an index like you would from an array. Let me know if this isn't what you're talking about and I can help find the answer to your question.
