Python Program to Convert Two Lists Into a Dictionary
In this example, you will learn to convert two lists into a dictionary.
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python programming topics:
- Python Dictionary
- Python zip[]
Example 1: Using zip and dict methods
index = [1, 2, 3] languages = ['python', 'c', 'c++'] dictionary = dict[zip[index, languages]] print[dictionary]Output
{1: 'python', 2: 'c', 3: 'c++'}We have two lists: index and languages. They are first zipped and then converted into a dictionary.
- The zip[] function takes iterables [can be zero or more], aggregates them in a tuple, and returns it.
- Likewise, dict[] gives the dictionary.
Example 2: Using list comprehension
index = [1, 2, 3] languages = ['python', 'c', 'c++'] dictionary = {k: v for k, v in zip[index, languages]} print[dictionary]Output
{1: 'python', 2: 'c', 3: 'c++'}This example is similar to Example 1; the only difference is that list comprehension is being used for first zipping and then { } for converting into a dictionary.
