This code reads a line of input from the user,...
This code reads a line of input from the user, which is assumed to contain a series of numbers separated by spaces. It then creates an empty dictionary called d
.
The program then loops through each number in the input, and extracts the first two characters from it using slicing (i.e., number[:2]
). This two-character code is used as a key in the dictionary d
.
If the key doesn't exist yet in the dictionary, setdefault()
is used to create a new empty list for that key. The current number is then appended to that list.
Finally, the program prints out the items of the sorted dictionary d
, where each item is a tuple consisting of a code and the list of numbers associated with that code. The *
before sorted(d.items())
unpacks the tuple into separate arguments to the print function so that each item is printed on its own line.
