Python – Assigning Key values to list elements from Value list Dictionary

Given List of elements, map them with keys of matching value from value list.

Input : test_list = [4, 6, 3, 5, 3], test_dict = {“Gfg” : [5, 3, 6], “is” : [8, 4]}
Output : [‘is’, ‘Gfg’, ‘Gfg’, ‘Gfg’, ‘Gfg’]
Explanation : 4 is present in “is” key, hence mapped in new list.

Input : test_list = [6, 3, 5, 3], test_dict = {“Gfg” : [5, 3, 6], “is” : [18, 14]}
Output : [‘Gfg’, ‘Gfg’, ‘Gfg’, ‘Gfg’]
Explanation : All elements present in “Gfg” key.

Method #1 : Using list comprehension

This is one of the ways in which this task can be performed. In this, we extract each element of dictionary value list to check list value occurrence, if matched, we assign that key’s value to that index.

test_dict = {"Gfg" : [5, 3, 6], "is" : [8, 4], "Best" : [10, 11]}
  
# nested loop inside list comprehension to check each key 
res = [key for ele in test_list
       for key, val in test_dict.items() if ele in val]
  
# printing result 
print("The filtered list : " + str(res))

Output


The original list : [4, 6, 3, 10, 5, 3]
The filtered list : ['is', 'Gfg', 'Gfg', 'Best', 'Gfg', 'Gfg']





Method #2 : Using dictionary comprehension + list comprehension


This is yet another way in which this task can be performed.  In this we create inverse dictionary, and map each list value with its key, post that each key is mapped with argument key list elements for matching key value.
