Given two list of words, than return as dictionary and set together-CodePudding

Hey (Sorry bad english) so am going to try and make my question more clear. if i have a function let's say create_username_dict(name_list, username_list). which takes in two list's 1 being the name_list with names of people than the other list being usernames that is made out of the names of people. what i want to do is take does two list than convert them to a dictonary and set them together. like this:

>>> name_list = ["Ola Nordmann", "Kari Olsen", "Roger Jensen"]
>>> username_list = ["alejon", "carli", "hanri"]
>>> create_username_dict(name_list, username_list)
{
    "Albert Jones": "alejon",
    "Carlos Lion": "carli",
    "Hanna Richardo": "hanri"
}

i have tried look around on how to connect two different list in too one dictonary, but can't seem to find the right solution

CodePudding user response：

If both lists are in matching order, i.e. the i-th element of one list corresponds to the i-th element of the other, then you can use this

D = dict(zip(name_list, username_list))

CodePudding user response：

Use zip to pair the list.

d = {key: value for key,value in zip(name_list, username_list)}
print(d)

Output:

{'Ola Nordmann': 'alejon', 'Kari Olsen': 'carli', 'Roger Jensen': 'hanri'}

CodePudding user response：

Considering both the list are same length and one to one mapping

name_list = ["Ola Nordmann", "Kari Olsen", "Roger Jensen"]
username_list = ["alejon", "carli", "hanri"]
result_stackoverflow = dict()
for index, name in enumerate(name_list):
    result_stackoverflow[name] = username_list[index]
print(result_stackoverflow)
>>> {'Ola Nordmann': 'alejon', 'Kari Olsen': 'carli', 'Roger Jensen': 'hanri'}

Answer by @alex does the same but maybe too encapsulated for a beginner. So this is the verbose version.
