Conversions among datatypes are quite popular utility and hence having knowledge of it always proves out to be quite handy. The conversion of a list of tuples into a dictionary had been discussed earlier, sometimes, we might have a key and a value tuple to be converted to a dictionary. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this can be performed.
Method #1 : Using Dictionary Comprehension
This task can be performed using the dictionary comprehension in which we can iterate through the key and value tuple simultaneously using enumerate() and construct the desired dictionary.
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Convert Tuples to Dictionary # Using Dictionary Comprehension # Note: For conversion of two tuples into a dictionary, we've to have the same length of tuples. Otherwise, we can not match all the key-value pairs # initializing tuples test_tup1 = ('GFG', 'is', 'best') test_tup2 = (1, 2, 3) # printing original tuples print("The original key tuple is : " + str(test_tup1)) print("The original value tuple is : " + str(test_tup2)) # Using Dictionary Comprehension # Convert Tuples to Dictionary if len(test_tup1) == len(test_tup2): res = {test_tup1[i] : test_tup2[i] for i, _ in enumerate(test_tup2)} # printing result print("Dictionary constructed from tuples : " + str(res)) |
The original key tuple is : ('GFG', 'is', 'best')
The original value tuple is : (1, 2, 3)
Dictionary constructed from tuples : {'best': 3, 'is': 2, 'GFG': 1}
Method #2 : Using zip() + dict()
This is yet another method in which this task can be performed in which a combination of zip function and dict function achieve this task. The zip function is responsible for conversion of tuple to key-value pair with corresponding indices. The dict function performs the task of conversion to dictionary.
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Convert Tuples to Dictionary # Using zip() + dict() # initializing tuples test_tup1 = ('GFG', 'is', 'best') test_tup2 = (1, 2, 3) # printing original tuples print("The original key tuple is : " + str(test_tup1)) print("The original value tuple is : " + str(test_tup2)) # Using zip() + dict() # Convert Tuples to Dictionary if len(test_tup1) == len(test_tup2): res = dict(zip(test_tup1, test_tup2)) # printing result print("Dictionary constructed from tuples : " + str(res)) |
The original key tuple is : ('GFG', 'is', 'best')
The original value tuple is : (1, 2, 3)
Dictionary constructed from tuples : {'GFG': 1, 'is': 2, 'best': 3}
