[Tutor] Change dictionary value depending on a conditional statement.

[Norman Khine]

Hello,
Is there a better way to do this:

 >>> list = []
 >>> total = 0
 >>> if total > 0:
...     x = {'id': 'name', 'link': 'XX'}
...     list.append(x)
... else:
...     y = {'id': 'name', 'link': 'YY'}
...     list.append(y)
...

I would like to change the key 'link' value depending on the value of 
'total' so for example if total == 2, then append x else y to the list.

Thanks
