Stuck on Exercise 12.5

[coutinholfc]

Hello everyone!
Hope I am in the right section to ask my question.
The code I made as a solution for the exercise E12.5 wasn't enough as it was only printing the last team name and country I was typing by keyboard, but as I moved forward in the book I learned that variable of the type list and dict store references which made sense to the result i was getting
If possible I would request the proper solution

Here is the result i would get if I enter the same input example:
[{'name':'PSG','country':'France'},{'name':'PSG','country':'France'}]
instead of:
[{'name':'Real Madrid','country':'Spain'},{'name':'PSG','country':'France'}]

Here is the code
Thank you

NumberofTeams=int(input("Enter the number of the teams you like:"))
i=0
list1={}
list2=[]

while i<NumberofTeams:
name=input("Enter the name of the team:")
list1["name"]=name
country=input("Enter the country of the team:")
list1["country"]=country
list2.append(list1)
i=i+1

print(list2)

Hi @coutinholfc

Please create the empty "list1" (dictionary) inside the while, otherwise it will only create one dictionary in memory, and the second time that the while iterates, it will change the value of "Real Madrid and Spain" with "PSG and France" (which also affects "List2").

You will learn more about that behavior in Chapter 14 (Section 14.1).
