Can not print an assigned variable, the console prints the string

Question

I am trying to automatize a process. I need to extract a string and previously assigned it a variable. For example:

H=8
Hello= "Hello"
Hi=(Hello[0])
print(H)
print(Hi)

Console prints:

8
H

and I need the console to print:

8
8

Answer 1

Use a dictionary instead.

Any method that solves this how you want it to be solved will be unsafe and bad practice.

data = {'H': 8, 'B': 3}
Hello = "Hello"
Hi = data[Hello[0]]
print(data['H'])
print(Hi)

Output:

8
8
