The interconversion between the datatypes is very popular and hence many articles have been written to demonstrate different kind of problems with their solutions. This article deals with yet another similar type problem of converting a list to dictionary, with values as the index incremental with K difference. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this problem can be solved.
Method #1 : Using dictionary comprehension + enumerate()
This problem can be solved easily using the combination of above functions, dictionary comprehension can perform the task of constructing the dictionary and enumerate function can be used to access the index value along with the element.
# Python3 code to demonstrate # Incremental value initialization in Dictionary # using Dictionary comprehension + enumerate() # initializing list test_list = ['Nikhil', 'Akshat', 'Akash', 'Manjeet'] # printing original list print("The original list : " + str(test_list)) # initialization K K = 4 # using Dictionary comprehension + enumerate() # Incremental value initialization in Dictionary res = {val : (K * (idx + 1)) for idx, val in enumerate(test_list)} # print result print("The Dictionary after index keys : " + str(res)) |
The original list : ['Nikhil', 'Akshat', 'Akash', 'Manjeet']
The Dictionary after index keys : {'Akash': 12, 'Nikhil': 4, 'Manjeet': 16, 'Akshat': 8}
Method #2 : Using dict() + zip()
This problem can also be solved using the combination of above 2 functions, the dict method can be used to convert to dictionary and zip function can be used to map the indices with the keys.
# Python3 code to demonstrate # Incremental value initialization in Dictionary # using dict() + zip() # initializing list test_list = ['Nikhil', 'Akshat', 'Akash', 'Manjeet'] # printing original list print("The original list : " + str(test_list)) # initialization K K = 4 # using dict() + zip() # Incremental value initialization in Dictionary res = dict(zip(test_list, range(K, len(test_list) * (K + 1), K))) # print result print("The Dictionary after index keys : " + str(res)) |
The original list : ['Nikhil', 'Akshat', 'Akash', 'Manjeet']
The Dictionary after index keys : {'Akash': 12, 'Nikhil': 4, 'Manjeet': 16, 'Akshat': 8}
