Summing over an array and then multiply by a dictionary
<pre><code>Fruits = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana', 'kiwi']

A = [4,  3,  10,  8]

B = {'apple': {'Bill': 4, 'Jan': 3, 'Frank': 5},
     'orange': {'Bill': 0, 'Jan': 1, 'Frank': 5},
     'banana': {'Bill': 8, 'Jan': 6, 'Frank': 2},
     'kiwi': {'Bill': 4, 'Jan': 2, 'Frank': 7}}
</code></pre>

<p>I am trying to sum over all the fruits of A and multiply that by B. I am having trouble doing this A is an array of just numbers and B is a dictionary. This is where I am getting confused. I am a new Python user. The numbers in A are in the same position relative to Fruits (the first number in A is the number of apples). Would this involve using sum(A)?</p>

<p>Sorry folks for the lack of details. Here is some clarity. I have fruits and I have numbers of fruits that each person has based on the type. I am wanting to sum all of the values of each fruit type in B such that I get:</p>

<pre><code> apple = 12
 orange = 6
 banana = 16
 kiwi = 13
</code></pre>

<p>Now, I want to multiple these numbers, by A, but keeping in mind that the first number in A, is apple, then orange, and so on to get a new array:</p>

<pre><code> Solution = [48,18,160,104] #solution order is apple, orange, banana, kiwi
</code></pre>
