Python: Convert a given dictionary into a list of lists

Python dictionary: Exercise-56 with Solution

Write a Python program to convert a given dictionary into a list of lists.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def test(dictt):
    result = list(map(list, dictt.items()))
    return result    

color_dict = {1 : 'red', 2 : 'green', 3 : 'black', 4 : 'white', 5 : 'black'}
print("\nOriginal Dictionary:")
print(color_dict)
print("Convert the said dictionary into a list of lists:")
print(test(color_dict))

color_dict = {'1' : 'Austin Little', '2' : 'Natasha Howard', '3' : 'Alfred Mullins', '4' : 'Jamie Rowe'}
print("\nOriginal Dictionary:")
print(color_dict)
print("Convert the said dictionary into a list of lists:")
print(test(color_dict))

Sample Output:

Original Dictionary:
{1: 'red', 2: 'green', 3: 'black', 4: 'white', 5: 'black'}
Convert the said dictionary into a list of lists:
[[1, 'red'], [2, 'green'], [3, 'black'], [4, 'white'], [5, 'black']]

Original Dictionary:
{'1': 'Austin Little', '2': 'Natasha Howard', '3': 'Alfred Mullins', '4': 'Jamie Rowe'}
Convert the said dictionary into a list of lists:
[['1', 'Austin Little'], ['2', 'Natasha Howard'], ['3', 'Alfred Mullins'], ['4', 'Jamie Rowe']]
