Python: Find shortest list of values with the keys of a dictionary
Python dictionary: Exercise-60 with Solution
Write a Python program to find shortest list of values with the keys in a given dictionary.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def test(dictt):
min_value=1
result = [k for k, v in dictt.items() if len(v) == (min_value)]
return result
dictt = {
'V': [10, 12],
'VI': [10],
'VII': [10, 20, 30, 40],
'VIII': [20],
'IX': [10,30,50,70],
'X': [80]
}
print("\nOriginal Dictionary:")
print(dictt)
print("\nShortest list of values with the keys of the said dictionary:")
print(test(dictt))
Sample Output:
Original Dictionary: {'V': [10, 12], 'VI': [10], 'VII': [10, 20, 30, 40], 'VIII': [20], 'IX': [10, 30, 50, 70], 'X': [80]} Shortest list of values with the keys of the said dictionary: ['VI', 'VIII', 'X']

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
