Explore how to store student data using lists of dictionaries in Python. Learn to retrieve and print each student’s name and score with a for loop, gaining practical skills in organizing and accessing structured data.

We'll cover the following...

This program stores a list of students with their scores and then prints each student’s name and score.

  • students is a list containing dictionaries.

    • Each dictionary represents one student with two pieces of information:

      • "name" → the student’s name

      • "score" → their test score

  • The for loop goes through each student dictionary one by one.

  • Inside the loop:

    • student['name'] gets the student’s name.

    • student['score'] gets their score.

  • The print() statement displays both pieces of data in one sentence.

Python
students = [
    {"name": "Sam", "score": 87},
    {"name": "Luna", "score": 92},
    {"name": "Kai", "score": 78}
]
for student in students:
    print(student['name'], "scored", student['score'])
