Hello all,
I want to create a dictionary.
The keys are 26 lowercase letters. The values are 26 uppercase letters.
The output should look like:
{'a': 'A', 'b': 'B',...,'z':'Z' }
I know I can use string.ascii_lowercase and string.ascii_uppercase, but how
do I use it exactly?
I have tried the following to create the keys:
myDict = {}
for e in string.ascii_lowercase:
myDict[e]=0
But, how to fill in the values? Can I do myDict[0]='A', myDict[1]='B', and
so on?
The uppercase equivalent of what's in "e" is "e.upper()". Does that help?
Alternatively, string.ascii_lowercase will give you the keys and
string.ascii_uppercase will give you the values for a dict; use "zip" to
make them into pairs (2-tuples) and then pass the list/generator into
"dict":
dict(zip(string.ascii_lowercase, string.ascii_uppercase))
