Python – Convert Dictionary values to Absolute Magnitude

Given a dictionary, convert its values to absolute.

Input : test_dict = {“Gfg” : -5, “is” : -7, “Best” : -2} 
Output : {“Gfg” : 5, “is” : 7, “Best” : 2} 
Explanation : All negative elements changed to positive with same magnitude

Input : test_dict = {“Gfg” : -8, “is” : 7, “Best” : -2} 
Output : {“Gfg” : 8, “is” : 7, “Best” : 2} 
Explanation : All negative elements changed to positive with same magnitude 

Method #1 : Using loop + abs()

This is one of the ways in which this task can be performed. In this, we iterate for each value of dictionary using loop and perform the absolute magnitude conversion using abs().

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Convert Dictionary values to Absolute Magnitude
# Using loop + abs()

# initializing dictionary
test_dict = {"Gfg" : 5, "is" : -7, "Best" : 2, "for" : -9, "geeks" : -8}

# printing original dictionary
print("The original dictionary is : " + str(test_dict))

# using abs() to perform conversion
# from negative to positive values
for ele in test_dict:
    test_dict[ele] = abs(test_dict[ele])

# printing result
print("Dictionary after absolute conversion : " + str(test_dict))

Output

The original dictionary is : {'Gfg': 5, 'is': -7, 'Best': 2, 'for': -9, 'geeks': -8}
Dictionary after absolute conversion : {'Gfg': 5, 'is': 7, 'Best': 2, 'for': 9, 'geeks': 8}

Method #2 : Using dictionary comprehension + abs()

This task is similar to above method. The difference being dictionary comprehension is used instead of loop to perform the task of iteration through keys.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Convert Dictionary values to Absolute Magnitude
# Using dictionary comprehension + abs()

# initializing dictionary
test_dict = {"Gfg" : 5, "is" : -7, "Best" : 2, "for" : -9, "geeks" : -8}

# printing original dictionary
print("The original dictionary is : " + str(test_dict))

# dictionary comprehension using to compile result
# items() used to extract dictionary keys and values.
res = {key : abs(val) for key, val in test_dict.items()}

# printing result
print("Dictionary after absolute conversion : " + str(res))

Output

The original dictionary is : {'Gfg': 5, 'is': -7, 'Best': 2, 'for': -9, 'geeks': -8}
Dictionary after absolute conversion : {'Gfg': 5, 'is': 7, 'Best': 2, 'for': 9, 'geeks': 8}
