Given a list:
list_essentials = [strawberry, chocolate, tomatoe]
a dictionary with ingredients I currently have:
d = {chocolate:3, strawberry:1, beaf:3}
and a more complex dictionary with the recipes and items per ingredients:
dictionary_recipes = {"cheesecake":{"chocolate":3, "strawberry":4},"strawberry cake":{"sugar":3, "strawberry":2} "lasagna":{"beaf":2, "tomatoe":1} }
I want to output a dictionary that adds to the elements of the list list_essentials
the number of items I need if I wanted to be able to make all the recipes.
The expected output I am looking for in this example is:
new_dict = {strawberry: 5, chocolate: 0, tomatoe: 1}
For strawberry for example I already have 1 but I need 6 to make all recipes, so the number of items I still need is 5
I tried this but the output is not correct:
for elements in list_essentials: new_dict={} for i, v in d.items(): for a, b in dictionary_recipes.items(): if v = 0: new_dict.append(b) if v > 0: new_dict.append(v-b) print(new_dict)

Answer
i know the code is ineffecient but it works
list_essentials = ['strawberry', 'chocolate', 'tomatoe'] current = {'chocolate':3, 'strawberry':1, 'beaf':3} required = {"cheesecake":{"chocolate":3, "strawberry":4},"strawberry cake":{"sugar":3, "strawberry":2}, "lasagna":{"beaf":2, "tomatoe":1}} list_required = required.values() output = {} for i in list_essentials: output[i] = 0 for i in list_required: for a in i: if a in list_essentials: output[a] += i[a] for i in current: if i in list_essentials: output[i] -= current[i] if (output[i] - current[i]) < 0: output[i] = 0 print(output)
