Python: Merge two Python dictionaries
Python dictionary: Exercise-8 with Solution
Write a Python script to merge two Python dictionaries.
Sample Solution-1:
Python Code:
d1 = {'a': 100, 'b': 200}
d2 = {'x': 300, 'y': 200}
d = d1.copy()
d.update(d2)
print(d)
Sample Output:
{'x': 300, 'y': 200, 'a': 100, 'b': 200}

Sample Solution-2:
Create a new dict and loop over dicts, using dictionary.update() to add the key-value pairs from each one to the result.
Python Code:
def merge_dictionaries(*dicts):
result = dict()
for d in dicts:
result.update(d)
return result
students1 = {
'Theodore': 10,
'Mathew': 11,
}
students2 = {
'Roxanne': 9
}
print("Original dictionaries:")
print(students1)
print(students2)
print("\nMerge dictionaries:")
print(merge_dictionaries(students1, students2))
Sample Output:
Original dictionaries: {'Theodore': 10, 'Mathew': 11} {'Roxanne': 9} Merge dictionaries: {'Theodore': 10, 'Mathew': 11, 'Roxanne': 9}

Invokes the provided function after ms milliseconds:
Example:
from time import sleep def tips_delay(fn, ms, *args): sleep(ms / 1000) return fn(*args) print(tips_delay( lambda x: print(x), 1000, 'w3r' ))
Output:
w3r None
