Note: datetime.date : A date object represents a date (year, month and day) in an idealized calendar, the current Gregorian calendar indefinitely extended in both directions. January 1 of year 1 is called day number 1, January 2 of year 1 is called day number 2, and so on.

Python: Tips of the Day

Maps the values of a list to a dictionary using a function, where the key-value pairs consist of the original value as the key and the result of the function as the value:

Example:

def tips_map_dictionary(itr, fn):
  ret = {}
  for a in itr:
    ret[a] = fn(a)
  return ret
print(tips_map_dictionary([2,4,6], lambda a: a * a))

Output:

{2: 4, 4: 16, 6: 36}
