Answer to Question #282549 in Python for solokin

Question

Modify this function so that it can invert your dictionary. In particular, the function will need to turn each of the list items into separate keys in the inverted dictionary.

Run your modified invert_dict function on your dictionary. Print the original dictionary and the inverted one.

Include your Python program and the output in your Learning Journal submission.

Describe what is useful about your dictionary. Then describe whether the inverted dictionary is useful or meaningful, and why

# name : [animal type, age, sex]
animal_shellter = {
  "Teddy": ["dog",4,"male"],
  "Elvis": ["dog",1,"male"],
  "Sheyla": ["dog",5,"female"],
  "Topic": ["hamster",3,"male"],
  "Kuzya": ["cat",10,"male"],
  "Misi": ["cat",8,"female"],
}


print(animal_shellter)
print("")


def invert(d):
  inverse = dict()
  for key in d:
    val = d[key]
    for item in val:
      if item not in inverse:
        inverse[item] = [key]
      else:
        inverse[item].append(key)
  return inverse 


inverted_shellter = invert(animal_shellter)
print(inverted_shellter)
