I am a beginner in Python. I have written a code in which the name of the contestants and their scores will be stored in a dictionary. Let me call the dictionary as results. However I have left it empty while writing the code. The keys and values are going to be added to the dictionary when the program is being run.  results={}      name=raw_input()     #some lines of code to get the score# results[name]=score     #code# name=raw_input()     #some lines of code to get the score# results[name]=score   After the execution of the program, let us say results == {"john":22, "max":20}  I want to compare the scores of John and Max, and declare the person with highest score as a winner. But I wont be knowing the names of the contestants at the beginning of the program. So how can I compare the scores, and declare one of them as the winner.
I have a dictionary: keys are strings, values are integers.  Example:   stats = {'a':1000, 'b':3000, 'c': 100}   I'd like to get 'b' as an answer, since it's the key with a higher value.  I did the following, using an intermediate list with reversed key-value tuples:  inverse = [(value, key) for key, value in stats.items()] print max(inverse)[1]   Is that one the better (or even more elegant) approach?

How to prove $|a^k|=n/\gcd(n,k)$ whenever $|a|=n$? A commutative ring is a field iff the only ideals are $(0)$ and $(1)$ Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity.

Any help? I came across a phrase for a type of question which is designed to discover someone's religious background, particularly in the context of sectarianism and divided societies but can't for the life of me remember it.   For example, if you are in Scotland and I ask you what football team you support, that may reveal your religion. Or in N.Ireland, if I ask what school you attend, likewise that may do the same.  It's like a 'veiled question' only that's not the term I'm looking for. Any help appreciated.  I've a feeling that the second part of the phrase is (question) as in, a INSERT TERM question, but not 100% sure. I'm using retextured snowballs and eggs for the different paintballs for two teams in a paintball map, so I can't replace the eggs with snowballs.  I have tried using /gamerule doMobSpawning false, but that still allows the chickens to spawn. I have also tried using /tp @e[type=Chicken] 0 0 0 on a repeating command block to quietly remove the chicken, but there's still a very noticeable frame where the chicken is visible. /effect @e[type=Chicken] minecraft:invisibility 10 1 false isn't fast enough, either.  I'm not using any plugins or mods.  tl;dr Without snowballs, how can I stop chickens from appearing for even a single frame. Detection of the Electric Charge of a Black Hole By the "No Hair Theorem", three quantities "define" a black hole; Mass, Angular Momentum, and Charge. The first is easy enough to determine, look at the radius of the event horizon and you can use the Schwarzschild formula to compute the mass. Angular Momentum can be found using the cool little ergosphere Penrose "discovered". However, I don't know how to determine the charge of the black hole.   How can an electromagnetic field escape the event horizon of a Reissner-Nordström black hole? Is there any experiment we could theoretically do to a black hole to determine its charge? I have a filename in a format like:     system-source-yyyymmdd.dat   I'd like to be able to parse out the different bits of the filename using the "-" as a delimiter. "Similar questions" overlaps footer and has no background When I can scroll down far enough to have the hot network questions overlap the footer (because my question is short) there is no background under the text:    Could they either be given a white background: (just disable the transparency option)    Or stop at the footer:      This also happens with the help text on some sites, as per this bug report:     Ubuntu 14.04.1 (Latest LTS Version), . Same problem with  and .  Windows 10 Pro,  and .  (Images linked to screenshot of browser)  My question is different from  because my issue is the lack of background on the footer.   I think there was a site redesign? Embed vimeo video into the body field So, Can linking verbs be used with "continuous tenses"? How do you redirect to a page using the POST verb? When you call RedirectToAction within a controller, it automatically redirects using an HTTP GET.  How do I explicitly tell it to use an HTTP POST?  I have an action that accepts both GET and POST requests, and I want to be able to RedirectToAction using  POST and send it some values.  Like this:  this.RedirectToAction(     "actionname",     new RouteValueDictionary(new { someValue = 2, anotherValue = "text" }) );   I want the someValue and anotherValue values to be sent using an HTTP POST instead of a GET. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it possible to install Windows from an external hard drive?  I have Windows XP installed on my laptop, and I want to remove it and install Windows 7.  My Windows 7 installation is in an .iso format on an external USB hard drive.  Is it possible to install it or will I need to put in a DVD before I start installing? Bluetooth audio delay / lag, reason completely unclear to me I have a bit of an odd situation, and wanted to ask for ideas.   Recently started connecting a JBL Charge 2+ to my MBA 11 inch, mid-2013, via Bluetooth. I noticed that there's clear delay between sound event and sound being audible via the JBL.   The problems persists across applications (so for example, playing video via VLC means the sound isn't synced, same for youtube videos in different browsers, same for mp3s that start playing with a small delay, etc.)  The delay is minor, but noticeable, in the range of 0.5s I'd say.  At first I thought it might be a Bluetooth driver issues, but now I found out the following: just connected another JBL device, a Flip 3 to the same MBA, and the sound plays without noticeable delay. I'm not sure if they use the exact same drivers, but now I'm wondering:   Is there a chance that it's a hardware problem? Didn't really consider this a possibility, but now I'm not sure anymore. How to test, and, ideally, fix this issue? How can I isolate the reason for the audio lag with the Charge 2+?   Any help would be appreciated! submitting a form when a checkbox is checked When is double-quoting necessary? I have an issue with my website: Google isn’t using my meta description, instead it’s using the content of the web page and I’m really confused.  Reason I’m confused is because I have checked and I don’t have duplicate page titles, description nor keywords, neither do I have any robots.txt for my website. My page title, description and keyword is unique, and page description is about 150 characters.  I have my site in Google Webmaster Tools and I checked for errors, but found none.  So I really don’t know why Google Search isn’t using my meta description. Why do variable names often start with the letter 'm'? How to modify the page at admin/structure/types?
