Python Program to Convert Two Lists Into a Dictionary

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following Python programming topics:


Example 1: Using zip and dict methods

Output

{1: 'python', 2: 'c', 3: 'c++'}

We have two lists: index and languages. They are first zipped and then converted into a dictionary.

  • The zip() function takes iterables (can be zero or more), aggregates them in a tuple, and returns it.
  • Likewise, dict() gives the dictionary.

Example 2: Using list comprehension

Output

{1: 'python', 2: 'c', 3: 'c++'}

This example is similar to Example 1; the only difference is that list comprehension is being used for first zipping and then { } for converting into a dictionary.
