Learning Journal Unit 7

The document is a learning journal that contains: 1) A dictionary with personal information like weight, height and field of study for 7 people. 2) A function that inverts the dictionary to map values in the original dictionary to keys in the new inverted dictionary since values can be non-unique. 3) The inverted dictionary prints each value from the original dictionary mapped to a list of corresponding keys.

Learning Journal Unit 7

Hello dear instructor

Here is my journal assignment.

# name : [weight, hight, field]

f={

"Frozan": [50, 1.60, 'civil engineering'],

"Frahnaz": [51, 1.62, 'transportation engineering'],

"Sakina": [56, 1.57, 'electrical engineering'],

"Nasiba": [53, 1.63, 'architecture'],

"Muhammad": [68, 1.80, 'computer science'],

"Ahmad": [72, 1.80, 'civil engineering'],

"Sadaf": [51, 1.57, "architecture"]

print(f)

print("\n")

Output:

{'Frozan': [50, 1.6, 'civil engineering'], 'Frahnaz': [51, 1.62, 'transportation engineering'], 'Sakina': [56,
1.57, 'electrical engineering'], 'Nasiba': [53, 1.63, 'architecture'], 'Muhammad': [68, 1.8, 'computer
science'], 'Ahmad': [72, 1.8, 'civil engineering'], 'Sadaf': [51, 1.57, 'architecture']}

Description: A dictionary contains a collection of indices, which are called keys, and a collection of
values. In mathematical language, a dictionary represents a mapping from keys to values. Lists can
appear as values in a dictionary. For example, if you are given a dictionary that maps from letters to
frequencies (Downey, 2015). My dictionary is useful to know the personal information of mentioned
people.

def invert_dict(d):

inverse = dict()

for key in d:

val = d[key]

for item in val:

if item not in inverse:

inverse[item] = [key]
else:

inverse[item].append(key)

return inverse

print(invert_dict(f))

Output:

{50: ['Frozan'], 1.6: ['Frozan'], 'civil engineering': ['Frozan', 'Frozan', 'Ahmad'], 51: ['Frahnaz'], 1.62:
['Frahnaz'], 'transportation engineering': ['Frahnaz', 'Frahnaz'], 56: ['Sakina'], 1.57: ['Sakina'], 'electrical
engineering': ['Sakina', 'Sakina'], 53: ['Nasiba'], 1.63: ['Nasiba'], 'architecture': ['Nasiba', 'Nasiba', 'Sadaf'],
68: ['Muhammad'], 1.8: ['Muhammad'], 'computer science': ['Muhammad', 'Muhammad'], 72:
['Ahmad']}

Description: Sometimes we might want to invert it; that is, create a dictionary that maps from
frequencies to letters. Since there might be several letters with the same frequency, each value in the
inverted dictionary should be a list of letters (Downey, 2015). The advantage of the invert dictionary is
this, to categories the same information of the mentioned people as a kay-value pair. Each time
through the loop, key gets a key from d and val gets the corresponding value (Downey, 2015).
