 Groups the elements of a list based on the given function.
 
-- Use `map()` and `fn` to map the values of the list to the keys of a dictionary.
-- Use list comprehension to map each element to the appropriate `key`.
+- Use `defaultdict()` to initialize a dictionary.
+- Use `fn` in combination with a `for` loop and `dict.append()` to populate the dictionary.
+- Use the `dict()` constructor to convert it to a regular dictionary.
