Python: Convert a given dictionary to a list of tuples

Python dictionary: Exercise-77 with Solution

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

• Use dict.items() and list() to get a list of tuples from the given dictionary.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def test(d):
  return list(d.items())
 
d = {'Red': 1, 'Green': 3, 'White': 5, 'Black': 2, 'Pink': 4}
print("Original Dictionary:")
print(d)
print("\nConvert the said dictionary to a list of tuples:")
print(test(d))

Sample Output:

Original Dictionary:
{'Red': 1, 'Green': 3, 'White': 5, 'Black': 2, 'Pink': 4}

Convert the said dictionary to a list of tuples:
[('Red', 1), ('Green', 3), ('White', 5), ('Black', 2), ('Pink', 4)]

Previous: Write a Python program to combine two lists into a dictionary, where the elements of the first one serve as the keys and the elements of the second one serve as the values. The values of the first list need to be unique and hashable.
Next: Write a Python program to create a flat list of all the keys in a flat dictionary.
