Inverts a dictionary with unique hashable values.
|
|
|
|
- Use `dictionary.items()` in combination with a list comprehension to create a new dictionary with the values and keys inverted.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def invert_dictionary(obj):
|
|
return { value: key for key, value in obj.items() }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
ages = {
|
|
'Peter': 10,
|
|
'Isabel': 11,
|
|
'Anna': 9,
|
|
}
|
|
invert_dictionary(ages) # { 10: 'Peter', 11: 'Isabel', 9: 'Anna' }
|
|
```
