Hello,
I had a task to define a function that would take a dict input and return
only the keys with unique values into a list.
Here is my code, which was awarded full marks, but I am pretty unhappy with
it. I feel like I did a band-aid job after my first submission did pass
mall the unit tests. I'd appreciate any advice on a better way to do this
if anyone has some extra time.
Thanks,
def uniqueValues(theDict):
'''
theDict: a dictionary
'''
ans = []
rev = {}
toDel = []
for key, value in aDict.items():
if value not in rev:
rev[value] = key
elif value in rev:
toDel.append(value)
for item in toDel:
try:
del rev[item]
except:
pass
for item in rev:
ans.append(rev[item])
return sorted(ans)
