Python Dictionary exercise

Exercise 1: Convert two lists into a dictionary

Below are the two lists. Write a Python program to convert them into a dictionary in a way that item
from list1 is the key and item from list2 is the value. The output should be:

{'Ten': 10, 'Twenty': 20, 'Thirty': 30}

Solution 1: The zip() function and a dict() constructor

Use the zip(keys, values) to aggregate two lists.

Wrap the result of a zip() function into a dict() constructor.

keys = ['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty']

values = [10, 20, 30]

res_dict = dict(zip(keys, values))

print(res_dict)

Solution 2: Using a loop and update() method of a dictionary

keys = ['Ten', 'Twenty', 'Thirty']

values = [10, 20, 30]

# empty dictionary

res_dict = dict()

for i in range(len(keys)):

res_dict.update({keys[i]: values[i]})

print(res_dict)

Exercise 2: Merge two Python dictionaries into one

dict1 = {'Ten': 10, 'Twenty': 20, 'Thirty': 30}

dict2 = {'Thirty': 30, 'Fourty': 40, 'Fifty': 50}

Expected output:

{'Ten': 10, 'Twenty': 20, 'Thirty': 30, 'Fourty': 40, 'Fifty': 50}
dict1 = {'Ten': 10, 'Twenty': 20, 'Thirty': 30}

dict2 = {'Thirty': 30, 'Fourty': 40, 'Fifty': 50}

dict3 = dict1.copy()

dict3.update(dict2)

print(dict3)

Exercise 3: Initialize dictionary with default values

In Python, we can initialize the keys with the same values.

Given:

employees = ['Kelly', 'Emma']

defaults = {"designation": 'Developer', "salary": 8000}

Solution

employees = ['Kelly', 'Emma']

defaults = {"designation": 'Developer', "salary": 8000}

res = dict.fromkeys(employees, defaults)

print(res)

# Individual data

print(res["Kelly"])

Exercise 4: Create a dictionary by extracting the keys from a given dictionary

Write a Python program to create a new dictionary by extracting the mentioned keys from the below
dictionary.

Given dictionary:

sample_dict = {

"name": "Kelly",

"age": 25,

"salary": 8000,

"city": "New york"}


# Keys to extract

keys = ["name", "salary"]

Solution1:

Expected output:

{'name': 'Kelly', 'salary': 8000}

sampleDict = {

"name": "Kelly",

"age":25,

"salary": 8000,

"city": "New york" }

keys = ["name", "salary"]

newDict = {k: sampleDict[k] for k in keys}

print(newDict)

Solution 2: Using the update() method and loop

sample_dict = {

"name": "Kelly",

"age": 25,

"salary": 8000,

"city": "New york"}

# keys to extract

keys = ["name", "salary"]

# new dict

res = dict()

for k in keys:

# add current key with its va;ue from sample_dict

res.update({k: sample_dict[k]})

print(res)
Exercise 5: Delete a list of keys from a dictionary

Given:

sample_dict = {

"name": "Kelly",

"age": 25,

"salary": 8000,

"city": "New york"

# Keys to remove

keys = ["name", "salary"]

Expected output:

{'city': 'New york', 'age': 25}

Solution 1: Using the pop() method and loop

sample_dict = {

"name": "Kelly",

"age": 25,

"salary": 8000,

"city": "New york"

# Keys to remove

keys = ["name", "salary"]

for k in keys:

sample_dict.pop(k)

print(sample_dict)

Solution 2: Dictionary Comprehension

sample_dict = {

"name": "Kelly",
"age": 25,

"salary": 8000,

"city": "New york"

# Keys to remove

keys = ["name", "salary"]

sample_dict = {k: sample_dict[k] for k in sample_dict.keys() - keys}

print(sample_dict)

Exercise 6: Check if a value exists in a dictionary

We know how to check if the key exists in a dictionary. Sometimes it is required to check if the given
value is present.

Write a Python program to check if value 200 exists in the following dictionary.

Given:

sample_dict = {'a': 100, 'b': 200, 'c': 300}

Expected output:

200 present in a dict

sample_dict = {'a': 100, 'b': 200, 'c': 300}

if 200 in sample_dict.values():

print('200 present in a dict')

Exercise 7: Rename key of a dictionary

Write a program to rename a key city to a location in the following dictionary.

Given:

sample_dict = {

"name": "Kelly",

"age":25,

"salary": 8000,

"city": "New york"

}
sample_dict = {

"name": "Kelly",

"age": 25,

"salary": 8000,

"city": "New york"

sample_dict['location'] = sample_dict.pop('city')

print(sample_dict)

Exercise 8: Change value of a key in a nested dictionary

Write a Python program to change Brad’s salary to 8500 in the following dictionary.

Given:

sample_dict = {

'emp1': {'name': 'Jhon', 'salary': 7500},

'emp2': {'name': 'Emma', 'salary': 8000},

'emp3': {'name': 'Brad', 'salary': 500}

Expected output:

'emp1': {'name': 'Jhon', 'salary': 7500},

'emp2': {'name': 'Emma', 'salary': 8000},

'emp3': {'name': 'Brad', 'salary': 8500}

Solution

sample_dict = {

'emp1': {'name': 'Jhon', 'salary': 7500},

'emp2': {'name': 'Emma', 'salary': 8000},

'emp3': {'name': 'Brad', 'salary': 6500}

}
sample_dict['emp3']['salary'] = 8500

print(sample_dict)
