#ask for help#
import heapq
stocks=[
{'ticker':'AAPL', 'price:20'},
{'ticker': 'GOOG', 'price:80'},
{'ticker': 'FB', 'price:45'},
{'ticker': 'MSFT', 'price:313'},
{'ticker': 'TUNA', 'price:68'}
]
print(heapq.nsmallest(2, stocks, key = lambda stock:stock['price']))

the outcome is a NameError: name 'stocks' is not defined. Why?

[baleia]

shouldn't you had wrote stock with a 's' at the end after 'key=lambda' ??

[AbhayAgrawal]

Can someone tell me the function instead of the lambda? Thank. :)

[flow]

you can do this too but it will give you only one value
print(min(Students, key=lambda x: x["avg_Marks"]))

[kenchen]

can anyone know why there is a word "key" in front of lamboda, i tried to use any variable but it can't work

[prcdjhnsn]

whats wrong with print(min(stocks, key=stocks.get))

[warrencrasta]

In the output list of tuples, sometimes price is the first value and ticker is the second value. Why is this?

[mallikarjunbr]

list.sort()
#print n latgest elements
n=int(input())
print(list[-1:n]
