Nested Dictionary for loop

Question

I'm new to programming. I'm trying to figure out how to subtract 'budgeted' from 'actual' and then update the value to 'variance' using a nested for loop. However, I've read that it isn't the best practice to change a dictionary while iterating. So far, I've been stumped on how to proceed.

for i in properties:
    for j in properties[i]:
        if j == "actual":
            sum = properties[i][j]
            print('\nActual:' , sum)
        if j == "budgeted":
            sum_two = properties[i][j]
            print('Budgeted:' , sum_two)
            diff = sum_two - sum
            print('Variance:', diff)    

default_value = 0

properties = {587: {'prop_name': 'Collington'}, 'rental_income': {'apartment_rent': '5120-0000', 'resident_assistance': '5121-0000', 'gain_loss': '5120-0000'}, 51200000: {'actual': 29620, 'budgeted': 30509, 'variance': default_value}, 51210000: {'actual': 25620, 'budgeted': 40509, 'variance': default_value}, ............

Answer 1

just iterate through the dictionary and check if in the inner dictionary, if actual, variance and budgeted exists or not, if yes then modify the variance value

for k, v in properties.items():
    if (('actual' in v.keys()) and ('variance' in v.keys()) and ('budgeted' in v.keys())):
            properties[k]['variance'] = properties[k]['actual']-properties[k]['budgeted']
