characters = ["Krillin","Goku", "Goku", "Gohan", "Piccolo",
"Krillin","Goku", "Vegeta", "Gohan", "Piccolo",
"Piccolo","Goku", "Vegeta", "Goku", "Piccolo"]
character_map = {character:[] for character in set(characters)}
print(character_map)
Use enumerate to store the index for each occurence
for index, character in enumerate(characters):
character_map[character].append(index)
character_map
