Python – Value limits to keys in Dictionaries List

Given a Dictionaries list, write a Python program to assign limits to each key in dictionary list.( each having all keys ).

Examples:

Input : test_list = [{“gfg” : 4, “is” : 7, “best” : 10}, {“gfg” : 2, “is” : 5, “best” : 9}, {“gfg” : 1, “is” : 2, “best” : 6}] 
Output : {‘gfg’: [1, 4], ‘is’: [2, 7], ‘best’: [6, 10]} 
Explanation : gfg has min. value to be 1 and maximum to be 4.

Input : test_list = [{“gfg” : 4, “best” : 10}, {“gfg” : 2, “best” : 9}, {“gfg” : 1, “best” : 6}] 
Output : {‘gfg’: [1, 4], ‘best’: [6, 10]} 
Explanation : best has min. value to be 6 and maximum to be 10. 

Method #1 : Using max() + min() + loop + keys()

In this, we perform task of getting all keys using keys(), and min and max values for limits are computed using min() and max(). The iteration of all the dictionaries is carried out using loop.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Value limits to keys in Dictionaries List
# Using max() + min() + loop + keys()

# initializing Matrix
test_list = [{"gfg": 4, "is": 7, "best": 10},
             {"gfg": 2, "is": 5, "best": 9},
             {"gfg": 1, "is": 2, "best": 6}]

# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))

res = dict()

# extraction of all keys
keys = list(test_list[0].keys())

for key in keys:

    # assigning ranges to each key
    res[key] = [min(sub[key] for sub in test_list), max(sub[key]
                                                        for sub in test_list)]

# printing result
print("Keys Ranges : " + str(res))

Output:

The original list is : [{‘gfg’: 4, ‘is’: 7, ‘best’: 10}, {‘gfg’: 2, ‘is’: 5, ‘best’: 9}, {‘gfg’: 1, ‘is’: 2, ‘best’: 6}]
Keys Ranges : {‘gfg’: [1, 4], ‘is’: [2, 7], ‘best’: [6, 10]}

Method #2 : Using dictionary comprehension + min() + max() + keys()

In this, we perform task of iteration using one liner dictionary comprehension, just similar method as above method but a shorthand.

Python3

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Value limits to keys in Dictionaries List
# Using list comprehension + min() + max() + keys()

# initializing Matrix
test_list = [{"gfg": 4, "is": 7, "best": 10},
             {"gfg": 2, "is": 5, "best": 9},
             {"gfg": 1, "is": 2, "best": 6}]

# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))

# extraction of all keys
keys = list(test_list[0].keys())

# Dictionary comprehension used as one liner to perform task
res = {key: [min(sub[key] for sub in test_list), max(sub[key]
                                                     for sub in test_list)] for key in keys}

# printing result
print("Keys Ranges : " + str(res))

Output:

The original list is : [{‘gfg’: 4, ‘is’: 7, ‘best’: 10}, {‘gfg’: 2, ‘is’: 5, ‘best’: 9}, {‘gfg’: 1, ‘is’: 2, ‘best’: 6}]
Keys Ranges : {‘gfg’: [1, 4], ‘is’: [2, 7], ‘best’: [6, 10]}
