Convert List to List of Dictionaries

Write a Python program to convert a list to a list of dictionaries.

Python: Convert list to list of dictionaries

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Define a list 'color_name' containing color names
color_name = ["Black", "Red", "Maroon", "Yellow"]

# Define a list 'color_code' containing color codes
color_code = ["#000000", "#FF0000", "#800000", "#FFFF00"]

# Use a list comprehension to create a list of dictionaries by pairing elements from 'color_name' and 'color_code' using the 'zip' function
# Each dictionary has keys 'color_name' and 'color_code', and the values are taken from 'color_name' and 'color_code'
# This results in a list of dictionaries, where each dictionary represents a color with its name and code
# Print the list of color dictionaries
print([{'color_name': f, 'color_code': c} for f, c in zip(color_name, color_code)])

Sample Output:

[{'color_name': 'Black', 'color_code': '#000000'}, {'color_name': 'Red', 'color_code': '#FF0000'}, {'color_nam
e': 'Maroon', 'color_code': '#800000'}, {'color_name': 'Yellow', 'color_code': '#FFFF00'}]
