我做了一个函数,它将在字典中查找年龄并显示匹配的名字:

dictionary = {'george' : 16, 'amber' : 19}
search_age = raw_input("Provide age")
for age in dictionary.values():
    if age == search_age:
        name = dictionary[age]
        print name

我知道如何比较和查找年龄,只是不知道如何显示这个人的名字。此外,由于第5行,我得到了一个KeyError。我知道这是不正确的,但我不知道如何让它向后搜索。


当前回答

for name in mydict:
    if mydict[name] == search_age:
        print(name) 
        #or do something else with it. 
        #if in a function append to a temporary list, 
        #then after the loop return the list

其他回答

dictionary = {'george' : 16, 'amber' : 19}
search_age = raw_input("Provide age")
key = [filter( lambda x: dictionary[x] == k  , dictionary ),[None]][0] 
# key = None from [None] which is a safeguard for not found.

多次使用:

keys = [filter( lambda x: dictionary[x] == k  , dictionary )]

如果希望根据值查找键,可以使用字典推导式创建查找字典,然后使用该字典从值中查找键。

lookup = {value: key for key, value in self.data}
lookup[value]

试试下面的一行代码来反转字典:

reversed_dictionary = dict(map(reversed, dictionary.items()))

这是一个真正的“可逆字典”,基于Adam Acosta的解决方案,但强制val-to-key调用是唯一的,容易从值返回键:

from collections import UserDict


class ReversibleDict(UserDict):
    def __init__(self, enforce_unique=True, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.val_to_keys = {}
        self.check_val = self.check_unique if enforce_unique else lambda x: x

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        self.check_val(value)
        super().__setitem__(key, value)
        self.val_to_keys[value] = key

    def __call__(self, value):
        return self.val_to_keys[value]

    def check_unique(self, value):
        assert value not in self.val_to_keys, f"Non unique value '{value}'"
        return value

如果你想强制字典值的唯一性,确保set enforce_unique=True。从值中获取键只需做rev_dict(value),从键中调用值只需像往常一样做dict['key'],这里是一个用法示例:

rev_dict = ReversibleDict(enforce_unique=True)
rev_dict["a"] = 1
rev_dict["b"] = 2
rev_dict["c"] = 3
print("full dictinoary is: ", rev_dict)
print("value for key 'b' is: ", rev_dict["b"])
print("key for value '2' is: ", rev_dict(2))
print("tring to set another key with the same value results in error: ")
rev_dict["d"] = 1

通过“查找”值来查找列表中的键是不容易的。但是,如果知道值,遍历键,就可以按元素在字典中查找值。如果D[element](其中D是一个字典对象)等于你要查找的键,你可以执行一些代码。

D = {'Ali': 20, 'Marina': 12, 'George':16}
age = int(input('enter age:\t'))  
for element in D.keys():
    if D[element] == age:
        print(element)
