This Python code extracts key-value pairs from a dictionary where the values (lists) contain at least one element from a specified list (missing_list
). Here's a step-by-step explanation:
Code Breakdown:
-
Original Dictionary:
- The dictionary
test_dict
is defined as:test_dict = {'gfg': [4, 6], 'is': [10], 'best': [4, 5, 7]}
- It contains keys (
'gfg'
,'is'
,'best'
) with lists as their associated values.
- The dictionary
-
Specified List:
- The list
missing_list
is defined as:missing_list = [4, 6, 10]
- This list contains the elements that are being checked against the lists in
test_dict
.
- The list
-
Dictionary Comprehension with
any()
:- The following dictionary comprehension is used to filter the key-value pairs:
res = {key: val for key, val in test_dict.items() if any(vals in missing_list for vals in val)}
- Step-by-step breakdown of how this works:
- Iterate over the items (
key, val
) oftest_dict
. - For each
val
(a list), check if any element (vals
) ofval
exists inmissing_list
using theany()
function:
This returnsany(vals in missing_list for vals in val)
True
if at least one element fromval
is inmissing_list
. - If
True
, include thatkey: val
pair in the result dictionaryres
.
- Iterate over the items (
- The following dictionary comprehension is used to filter the key-value pairs:
-
Result:
- The code builds a new dictionary
res
containing only the key-value pairs that satisfy the condition.
- The code builds a new dictionary
Output:
- The original dictionary is:
The original dictionary : {'gfg': [4, 6], 'is': [10], 'best': [4, 5, 7]}
- The filtered dictionary
res
is:The extracted dictionary: {'gfg': [4, 6], 'is': [10], 'best': [4, 5, 7]}
- Explanation of the result:
'gfg': [4, 6]
→ Contains both4
and6
(both inmissing_list
).'is': [10]
→ Contains10
(inmissing_list
).'best': [4, 5, 7]
→ Contains4
(inmissing_list
).
Thus, the code effectively extracts all key-value pairs where the lists in the dictionary contain at least one element from missing_list
.
