This Python code filters a dictionary to extract key-value pairs where at least one element in the list (values of the dictionary) exists in a specified "required" list (missing_list
).
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
Input
-
Dictionary (
test_dict
):{'gfg': [4, 6], 'is': [10], 'best': [9, 5, 7]}
Each key has a list of integers as its associated value.
-
List (
missing_list
):[4, 6, 10]
This is the list of elements we want to search for in the dictionary values.
Code Explanation
-
Original Dictionary: The original dictionary
test_dict
is printed. -
Dictionary Comprehension:
res = {key: val for key, val in test_dict.items() if any(vals in missing_list for vals in val)}
- For each
key, val
pair intest_dict.items()
, the code checks if any value (vals
) in the listval
exists inmissing_list
(using theany()
function). - If the condition is
True
, that key-value pair is included in the new dictionaryres
.
- For each
-
Result: The resulting dictionary
res
is printed.
Output
For the given inputs:
missing_list
:[4, 6, 10]
test_dict
:{'gfg': [4, 6], 'is': [10], 'best': [9, 5, 7]}
The process works as follows:
- Key
'gfg'
:[4, 6]
has elements (4
,6
) inmissing_list
. ✅ Included. - Key
'is'
:[10]
has element (10
) inmissing_list
. ✅ Included. - Key
'best'
:[9, 5, 7]
has no elements inmissing_list
. ❌ Excluded.
Result:
{'gfg': [4, 6], 'is': [10]}
Final Output:
The original dictionary : {'gfg': [4, 6], 'is': [10], 'best': [9, 5, 7]}
The extracted dictionary: {'gfg': [4, 6], 'is': [10]}
