Dictionary Challenge Question

For this challenge question, you are going to write a function that iterates over a dictionary!

Part 0. Setup

Start by opening your workspace in Visual Studio. Right click on the “lessons” folder and select “add file”. Your file will be named unzip.py.

Set up your document by adding the docstring: """Splitting a dictionary into two lists""" and initializing the __author__ variable with your PID.

Part 1. get_keys()

Write a function definition with the following expectations:

• The function name is get_keys and has a dict[str,int] parameter.
• The function should return a list[str]
• The function should produce a list of all the keys in the input dictionary.
• If the input dict is empty, it should return an empty list.
• The function should not mutate (modify) the input dictionary.
• Explicitly type variables, parameters, and return types.

>>> from lessons.unzip import get_keys
>>> test: dict[str, int] = {"Hello" : 1, "World" : 2}
>>> get_keys(test)
['Hello', 'World']

Part 2. get_values()

Write a function definition with the following expectations:

• The function name is get_values and has a dict[str,int] parameter.
• The function should return a list[int]
• The function should produce a list of all the values in the input dictionary.
• If the input dict is empty, it should return an empty list.
• The function should not mutate (modify) the input dictionary.
• Explicitly type variables, parameters, and return types.

>>> from lessons.unzip import get_values
>>> test: dict[str, int] = {"Hello" : 1, "World" : 2}
>>> get_values(test)
[1, 2]
