Adding in values SET python

Question

I start learning Python by myself, I googled around but I can not find the solution,

This is practice of lottery code and I would like to ask User couple of question. It is still practicing.

I try to build "add_players()" part.

So, My code is right now

user_players = set()

lottery_numbers = {13, 21, 22, 5, 8}

def menu():
    user_input = input("ADD,SHOW,ROLL or QUIT  ")
    user_input=user_input.upper()

    while user_input != 'QUIT':
        if user_input == 'ADD':
            add_players()
        #elif user_input == 'SHOW':
        #   show_players()
        elif user_input == 'ROLL':
            roll()
        else:
            print('Done bye')
        user_input = input("ADD,SHOW,ROLL or QUIT ")


def add_players():
    name_input = input('Name?: ')
    numbers_input = int(input('number?: '))

    new_users = user_players.add(
        {
            'name': name_input,
            'numbers': numbers_input
        }
    )
def roll():
    for i in new_users:
        Matched1 = i['numbers'].intersection(lottery_numbers)
        print("{} matched {} ".format(i['name'], Matched1))

menu()

So when a user chose "ADD",

I would like to add values to my SET

which is this logic

def add_players():
        name_input = input('Name?: ')
        numbers_input = int(input('number?: '))

        new_users = user_players.add(
            {
                'name': name_input,
                'numbers': numbers_input
            }
        )

for example,

John 1,2,3,4,5

I know I should use add function, but

I am missing this part

 new_users = user_players.add(
                {
                    'name': name_input,
                    'numbers': numbers_input
                }
            )

How can I change my code to add players and their numbers? so when user choose "ROLL", It shows like "John matched 5"

What do you mean by "I am missing this part"? What is your question exactly? — Thierry Lathuille

{
    'name': name_input,
    'numbers': numbers_input
}

cannot be added to a set since a dict is not hashable. Try using a data structure that is hashable like tuple to suit your case.

For example,

new_users = user_players.add((name_input, numbers_input))

Also for your roll function, you refer to new_users which aren't accessible in the function. new_users you declared in add_players function only lives inside that function. So you'd want to declare it else where, like just below user_players on the top and add to it in the functions as you go.
