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

一行版本:(i是旧字典,p是反向字典)

解释:i.keys()和i.values()返回两个列表,分别包含字典的键和值。zip函数能够将列表绑定在一起以生成字典。

p = dict(zip(i.values(),i.keys()))

警告:只有当值是可哈希且唯一时,此方法才有效。

以下是我对这个问题的看法。:) 我刚刚开始学习Python,所以我称之为:

“初学者可以理解的”解决方案。

#Code without comments.

list1 = {'george':16,'amber':19, 'Garry':19}
search_age = raw_input("Provide age: ")
print
search_age = int(search_age)

listByAge = {}

for name, age in list1.items():
    if age == search_age:
        age = str(age)
        results = name + " " +age
        print results

        age2 = int(age)
        listByAge[name] = listByAge.get(name,0)+age2

print
print listByAge

.

#Code with comments.
#I've added another name with the same age to the list.
list1 = {'george':16,'amber':19, 'Garry':19}
#Original code.
search_age = raw_input("Provide age: ")
print
#Because raw_input gives a string, we need to convert it to int,
#so we can search the dictionary list with it.
search_age = int(search_age)

#Here we define another empty dictionary, to store the results in a more 
#permanent way.
listByAge = {}

#We use double variable iteration, so we get both the name and age 
#on each run of the loop.
for name, age in list1.items():
    #Here we check if the User Defined age = the age parameter 
    #for this run of the loop.
    if age == search_age:
        #Here we convert Age back to string, because we will concatenate it 
        #with the person's name. 
        age = str(age)
        #Here we concatenate.
        results = name + " " +age
        #If you want just the names and ages displayed you can delete
        #the code after "print results". If you want them stored, don't...
        print results

        #Here we create a second variable that uses the value of
        #the age for the current person in the list.
        #For example if "Anna" is "10", age2 = 10,
        #integer value which we can use in addition.
        age2 = int(age)
        #Here we use the method that checks or creates values in dictionaries.
        #We create a new entry for each name that matches the User Defined Age
        #with default value of 0, and then we add the value from age2.
        listByAge[name] = listByAge.get(name,0)+age2

#Here we print the new dictionary with the users with User Defined Age.
print
print listByAge

.

Provide age: 19

amber 19
Garry 19

{'amber': 19, 'Garry': 19}

Execution Successful!
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 )]

我意识到已经有很长一段时间了,最初的提问者可能不再需要答案,但如果您实际上可以控制这段代码,那么这些答案都不是好的答案。您只是使用了错误的数据结构。这是双向字典用例的完美说明:

>>> from collections import defaultdict, UserDict
>>> class TwoWayDict(UserDict):
...     def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
...         super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
...         self.val_to_keys = defaultdict(list)
...     def __setitem__(self, key, value):
...         super().__setitem__(key, value)
...         self.val_to_keys[value].append(key)
...     def get_keys_for_val(self, value):
...         return self.val_to_keys[value]
... 
>>> d = TwoWayDict()
>>> d['a'] = 1
>>> d['b'] = 1
>>> d.get_keys_for_val(1)
['a', 'b']

为插入增加了极小的开销,但您保持了恒定的查找时间,除了现在是双向查找。不需要在每次需要时从头构造反向映射。只要在你需要的时候存储它并访问它。

此外,这些答案中有许多甚至是不正确的,因为很明显,许多人可能具有相同的年龄,但他们只返回第一个匹配的键,而不是所有的键。

get_key = lambda v, d: next(k for k in d if d[k] is v)
