I'm trying to figure out how to deal with data which will look
something like:
Student:Bob Hurley
Credits:
Algebra C (20P)
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Consumer Math (24G)
Module 2
So, I just figured that I would have a couple of nested
dictionaries.
Or 3 classes: Student, Credit, Module
But classses will be most useful if you are doing a lot of
interaction between the students or calculations based on the credits.
As Bob suggested, if you mainly just want to add/delete/modify
and report on the data a database is a better bet.
You mght still create a Student class to structure the data
coming back from the database but the other classes will
probably be overkill and your double dict will be as effective.
