Python: Split a given dictionary of lists into list of dictionaries
Python dictionary: Exercise-47 with Solution
Write a Python program to split a given dictionary of lists into list of dictionaries.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def list_of_dicts(marks):
keys = marks.keys()
vals = zip(*[marks[k] for k in keys])
result = [dict(zip(keys, v)) for v in vals]
return result
marks = {'Science': [88, 89, 62, 95], 'Language': [77, 78, 84, 80]}
print("Original dictionary of lists:")
print(marks)
print("\nSplit said dictionary of lists into list of dictionaries:")
print(list_of_dicts(marks))
Sample Output:
Original dictionary of lists: {'Science': [88, 89, 62, 95], 'Language': [77, 78, 84, 80]} Split said dictionary of lists into list of dictionaries: [{'Science': 88, 'Language': 77}, {'Science': 89, 'Language': 78}, {'Science': 62, 'Language': 84}, {'Science': 95, 'Language': 80}]
