Hi,
I'm new to Python and working on a school assignment.
I have setup a dictionary where the keys point to an object. Each
object has two member variables. I need to find the smallest value
contained in this group of objects.
The objects are defined as follows:
class Block:
def __init__(self,addr):
self.addr = addr
self.age = 0
My dictionary is defined as:
blocks = {}
I have added 1000 (will hold more after I get this working) objects. I
need to find the lowest age in the dictionary. If there is more than
one age that is lowest (like if several of them are '1', etc), then I
can just pick randomly any that equal the lowest value. I don't care
which one I get.
I saw the following code here but I don't know how to use this sample
to get at the values I need in the blocks object.
def key_of_lowest(self,addr)
lowest = min(self.blocks.values())
return [k for k in self.blocks if self.blocks[k]==val][0]
This one returns the lowest value Object, but not the lowest value of
age in all the Objects of the table.
I hope someone can help me figure out the syntax for what I'm trying
to do.
Thanks in advance.
David
