Python: Convert a given list of lists to a dictionary

Python dictionary: Exercise-63 with Solution

Write a Python program to convert a given list of lists to a dictionary.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def test(lst):
    result = {item[0]: item[1:] for item in lst}
    return result

students = [[1, 'Jean Castro', 'V'], [2, 'Lula Powell', 'V'], [3, 'Brian Howell', 'VI'], [4, 'Lynne Foster', 'VI'], [5, 'Zachary Simon', 'VII']]

print("\nOriginal list of lists:")
print(students)
print("\nConvert the said list of lists to a dictionary:")
print(test(students))

Sample Output: 

Original list of lists:
[[1, 'Jean Castro', 'V'], [2, 'Lula Powell', 'V'], [3, 'Brian Howell', 'VI'], [4, 'Lynne Foster', 'VI'], [5, 'Zachary Simon', 'VII']]

Convert the said list of lists to a dictionary:
{1: ['Jean Castro', 'V'], 2: ['Lula Powell', 'V'], 3: ['Brian Howell', 'VI'], 4: ['Lynne Foster', 'VI'], 5: ['Zachary Simon', 'VII']}

Python: Tips of the Day

Clamps num within the inclusive range specified by the boundary values x and y:

Example:

def tips_clamp_num(num,x,y):
  return max(min(num, max(x, y)), min(x, y))
print(tips_clamp_num(2, 4, 6))
print(tips_clamp_num(1, -1, -6))

Output:
