Question

I have two lists

a: a, b, c, d, e
b: blue, white, brown, yellow, red

I need a to become blue’s key in a dictonary, so i need to do this:

dictonary[a]="blue"

but how do I do it using the same for…

Answer 1

Use zip() to merge a and b:

dict(zip(a, b))

Because the dict() constructor also can take a sequence of (key, value) pairs no for loops are needed at all.
