How to create dictionary with two lists in Python
In this post, we will discuss how to create a new dictionary out of two lists.
First let's see the input and expected output and then the actual source code of the problem.
input:
keys = ['name', 'age', 'contact']
values = ['Afiz', 30, '9090909090']
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
expected output:
{'name': 'Afiz', 'age': 30, 'contact': '9090909090'}
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
There are multiple ways to solve this problem.
Method 1: First let's see the simple way using for loop in Python.
my_dictionary = {}
for i in range(len(keys)):
my_dictionary[keys[i]] = values[i]
print(my_dictionary)
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
This solution is okay but not great. Let's check out another method which more pythonic way of doing it.
print(dict(zip(keys, values)))
Enter fullscreen mode
Exit fullscreen mode
Surprised !! 😮 😯 😲 yes it is one line. Tell me which method you like in the comment section. And finally if you want the explanation of these solutions please checkout my YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/PFsP2U4_GH0
