Python: Clear the list values within a given dictionary
A Python dictionary contains List as a value. Write a Python program to clear the list values in the said dictionary.
Visual Presentation:
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Define a function 'test' that clears the list values within a dictionary.
def test(dictionary):
# Iterate through the keys in the 'dictionary' and use the 'clear' method to empty the lists.
for key in dictionary:
dictionary[key].clear()
return dictionary
# Create a dictionary 'dictionary' with keys as 'C1', 'C2', and 'C3', and lists as values.
dictionary = {
'C1': [10, 20, 30],
'C2': [20, 30, 40],
'C3': [12, 34]
}
# Print a message indicating the start of the code section and the original dictionary.
print("\nOriginal Dictionary:")
print(dictionary)
# Print a message indicating the intention to clear the list values in the dictionary.
print("\nClear the list values in the said dictionary:")
# Call the 'test' function to clear the list values within the dictionary and print the resulting dictionary.
print(test(dictionary))
Sample Output:
Original Dictionary: {'C1': [10, 20, 30], 'C2': [20, 30, 40], 'C3': [12, 34]} Clear the list values in the said dictionary: {'C1': [], 'C2': [], 'C3': []}
