### keys_only
|
|
|
|
Function which accepts a dictionary of key value pairs and returns a new flat list of only the keys.
|
|
|
|
Uses the .items() function with a for loop on the dictionary to track both the key and value and returns a new list by appending the keys to it. Best used on 1 level-deep key:value pair dictionaries and not nested data-structures.
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
def keys_only(dict):
|
|
lst = []
|
|
for k, v in dict.items():
|
|
lst.append(k)
|
|
return lst
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
``` python
|
|
ages = {
|
|
"Peter": 10,
|
|
"Isabel": 11,
|
|
"Anna": 9,
|
|
}
|
|
keys_only(ages) # ['Peter', 'Isabel', 'Anna']
|
|
``` |
