In this article, we will discuss how to create a dictionary with list comprehension in Python.

Method 1: Using dict() method

Using dict() method we can convert list comprehension to the dictionary. Here we will pass the list_comprehension like a list of tuple values such that the first value act as a key in the dictionary and the second value act as the value in the dictionary.

Syntax: dict(list_comprehension)

Example 1: Python program to create a student list comprehension and convert it into a dictionary.

Python3




# create a list comprehension with student age
data = [('sravan', 23), ('ojaswi', 15),
        ('rohith', 8), ('gnanesh', 4), ('bobby', 20)]
 
# using dict method
dict(data)


Output:

{'bobby': 20, 'gnanesh': 4, 'ojaswi': 15, 'rohith': 8, 'sravan': 23}

We can also use the following for loop inside the dict() method.

Syntax: dict([(key,value) for key,value in data])                         

Example 2:

Python3




# create a list comprehension with student age
data = [('sravan', 23), ('ojaswi', 15),
        ('rohith', 8), ('gnanesh', 4), ('bobby', 20)]
 
# using dict method inside for loop
dict([(key, value) for key, value in data])


Output:

{'bobby': 20, 'gnanesh': 4, 'ojaswi': 15, 'rohith': 8, 'sravan': 23}

Method 2: Using zip() with dict() method

Here in this method, we will create two lists such that values in the first list will be the keys and the second list values will be the values in the dictionary.

Syntax: dict(zip(key_list,value_list))

Example 1:

Python3




# create a list with student name
name = ['sravan', 'ojaswi', 'rohith', 'gnanesh', 'bobby']
 
# create a list with student age
age = [23, 21, 32, 11, 23]
 
# using dict method with zip()
dict(zip(name, age))


Output:

{'bobby': 23, 'gnanesh': 11, 'ojaswi': 21, 'rohith': 32, 'sravan': 23}

Method 3: Using Iterable

Here we can iterate over the given date using iterable for loop.

Syntax: {key: value for (key, value) in data}

Example:

Python3




# create a list comprehension with student age
data = [('sravan', 23), ('ojaswi', 15),
        ('rohith', 8), ('gnanesh', 4), ('bobby', 20)]
 
 
# display using iterable method
{key: value for (key, value) in data}


Output:

{'bobby': 20, 'gnanesh': 4, 'ojaswi': 15, 'rohith': 8, 'sravan': 23}

Method 4: Add Filter

We can add a filter to the iterable to a list comprehension to create a dictionary only for particular data based on condition. Filtering means adding values to dictionary-based on conditions.

Syntax: {key: value for (key, value) in data condition}

Example:

Python3




# create a list comprehension with student age
data = [('sravan', 23), ('ojaswi', 15),
        ('rohith', 8), ('gnanesh', 4), ('bobby', 20)]
 
 
# create a dictionary with list
# comprehension if value is equal to 20
print({key: value for (key, value) in data if value == 20})
 
# create a dictionary with list
# comprehension if value is greater than  to 10
print({key: value for (key, value) in data if value > 10})
 
# create a dictionary with list
# comprehension if key is sravan
print({key: value for (key, value) in data if key == 'sravan'})


Output:

{'bobby': 20}
{'sravan': 23, 'ojaswi': 15, 'bobby': 20}
{'sravan': 23}
