Maps the values of a list to a dictionary using a function, where the key-value pairs consist of the original value as the key and the result of the function as the value.
|
|
|
|
- Use `map()` to apply `fn` to each value of the list.
|
|
- Use `zip()` to pair original values to the values produced by `fn`.
|
|
- Use `dict()` to return an appropriate dictionary.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
def map_dictionary(itr, fn):
|
|
return dict(zip(itr, map(fn, itr)))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
map_dictionary([1, 2, 3], lambda x: x * x) # { 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9 }
|
|
```
