How to access the key values in python dictionary with variables?

Question

I have a dict whose keys are numbers. It looks like this:

{'1': 3, '2': 7, '3', 14}

I need to access the value of each key with a variable, but get stuck because of the quotation marks of keys. How can I do that?

Welcome to Stack Overflow! Unfortunately it's a little hard to tell what you're asking. Could you provide what you've tried so far, what the error is, and the result you want? — Karin, Sep 06 '16 at 03:31
Sorry it's my first question and I didn't know posting the code was important. But I tried to convert them into string based on @TigerhawkT3 's comment and it's solved. Thanks all for your nice help. — John Bear, Sep 06 '16 at 03:44

You can cast your number to a string,

my_dict = {'1': 3, '2': 7, '3': 14}

number = 2
print(my_dict[str(number)])
