python slice dictionary

# Import the itertools libarary 
# This library ships with Python 3 so you don't have to download anything
# It provides a bunch of tools for dealing with sequences and iteration
import itertools

# Create a new dictionary variable
myDictionary = {
    "name": "Fred",
    "animal": "cat",
    "colour": "red",
    "age": 3
} 

# Create a sliced dictionary
# dict() is used to convert the iterable result of itertools.islice() to a new dictionary
slicedDict = dict(itertools.islice(myDictionary.items(), 1 ,3))

print(slicedDict)

# Prints out 
# {   
#     'animal': 'cat', 
#     'colour': 'red'
# }

python slice a dict

#python convert a dict to list or a list to dict or a slice a dict or sort a dict by key or value without import
#convert dict to list or list to dict or slice a dict
#1. convert dict to list
temp = [] # not required as [] is mentioned below
s = {'b': 3, 'a': 2, 'c': 2, 'd': 1, 'e': 1}#our dict remember
temp = [[k,v]for k,v in s.items()]# temp is now list
print(temp)#[['b', 3], ['a', 2], ['c', 2], ['d', 1], ['e', 1]]

#2. list to dict || pass a list like below
a_dict ={}# not required since we have {} in below
a_dict = {  v[0]:v[1] for k,v in enumerate(temp)}
# OR || a_dict = {  v[0]:v[1] for k,v in enumerate([k,v]for k,v in s.items())}
print(a_dict)#{'b': 3, 'a': 2, 'c': 2, 'd': 1, 'e': 1}

#3. Slice a dict is as simple slice as slicing a list
#see below at temp[0:3] to slice dict to first 4 elements (0 to 3)
a_dict = {  v[0]:v[1] for k,v in enumerate(temp[0:3])}
print(a_dict)#{'b': 3, 'a': 2, 'c': 2}
