Programming Assignment Unit 7

The document outlines a programming assignment where a Python function is created to invert a dictionary that associates students with their courses, transforming it into a dictionary with courses as keys and lists of students as values. The function ensures that each course key can have a maximum of three students enrolled. Sample input and output are provided to demonstrate the functionality of the inverted dictionary.

Programming Assignment Unit 7


A Python function that inverts a dictionary where students are associated with their respective
courses, and the output is a dictionary with courses as keys and lists of students enrolled in each
course:

The invert_dictionary function is designed to address the teacher's requirement of having a


dictionary with courses as keys and students enrolled in each course as values. The function uses
two nested loops to iterate through the original dictionary, where each key is a student, and the
corresponding value is a list of courses for that student.

For each course in the list of courses for a student, the function checks whether the course is
already a key in the inverted_dict. If the course is already a key, it appends the current student to
the list of values for that key, but with a constraint: each key can have a maximum of three
values (students). This ensures that the teacher gets exactly three students for each course.

If the course is not a key, it creates a new key with the course and sets the value as a list
containing the current student. This process continues until the inverted dictionary is fully
constructed.

The sample input provided includes two students ('Stud1' and 'Stud2') with their respective
courses. The output demonstrates the inverted dictionary, satisfying the teacher's requirement,
with courses as keys and three students enrolled in each course as values (or fewer if there are
not enough students).
