Converting Two Lists Into a Dictionary

column_values = [1, 'red', 'bold']

# Convert two lists into a dictionary with zip and the dict constructor
name_to_value_dict = dict(zip(column_names, column_values))

# Convert two lists into a dictionary with a dictionary comprehension
name_to_value_dict = {key:value for key, value in zip(column_names, column_values)}

# Convert two lists into a dictionary with a loop
