Exercise - Dictionary Keys
Level: BeginnerGiven a pretty standard dictionary:
d = {
'Jane': 33,
'Elena': 17,
'Margery': 28,
'Savannah': 21
}
And a list of desired keys:
keys = ['Elena', 'Savannah']
How can you return a filtered version of d
, without affecting what's stored in the original d
?
What if the dictionary is more complex?
d = {
'Jane': {
'age': 33,
'location': 'San Francisco'
},
'Elena': {
'age': 17,
'location': 'Petaluma'
}
}
keys = ['age']
Try writing tests before working on the filter code itself. The specification of keys
is up to you - can you think of edge cases where the format above is going to fail?
