Solution

Sure, here is a Python program that reads a dictionary from a file, inverts it, and writes the inverted dictionary to a different file.

  1. Let's start by creating a dictionary file named dict.txt with at least six items. The file content could be like this:
{
    "1": "one",
    "2": "two",
    "3": "three",
    "4": "four",
    "5": "five",
    "6": "six"
}
  1. Here is the Python program:
import json

# Read the dictionary from the file
with open('dict.txt', 'r') as f:
    dict_str = f.read()
    dict_original = json.loads(dict_str)

# Invert the dictionary
dict_inverted = {v: k for k, v in dict_original.items()}

# Write the inverted dictionary to a different file
with open('dict_inverted.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(json.dumps(dict_inverted))
  1. The output file dict_inverted.txt will look like this:
{
    "one": "1",
    "two": "2",
    "three": "3",
    "four": "4",
    "five": "5",
    "six": "6"
}
  1. Explanation:

The Python program starts by importing the json module, which provides methods for manipulating JSON data. The program then opens the file dict.txt in read mode, reads its content into a string, and uses json.loads() to convert the string into a Python dictionary.

Next, the program inverts the dictionary using a dictionary comprehension. The expression {v: k for k, v in dict_original.items()} creates a new dictionary where the keys are the values of the original dictionary and the values are the keys of the original dictionary.

Finally, the program opens the file dict_inverted.txt in write mode, converts the inverted dictionary into a string using json.dumps(), and writes the string to the file.

The output of the program is a file containing the inverted dictionary in JSON format. The inversion of the dictionary is useful in situations where you need to look up keys by their values.

Similar Questions

In a program, a dictionary contains lists of students and their courses. The teacher is interested to have a dictionary that has the courses as key and the students enrolled in each course as values. Each key has three different values. To address this requirement, write a function to invert the dictionary and implement a solution that satisfies the teacher’s need. In particular, the function will need to turn each of the list items into separate keys in the inverted dictionary. Also provide a technical explanation for the code and its output in minimum 200 words. Sample input: {     'Stud1: ['CS1101', 'CS2402', 'CS2001'],     'Stud2: ['CS2402’,’CS2001’,’CS1102’]     } Inverted Output: { ‘CS1101’: [‘Stud1’], ‘CS2402’:['Stud1’,’Stud2’], ‘CS2001’: ['Stud1’,’Stud2’] ‘CS 1102’[‘Stud2’] } Programming Instructions: Print the original dictionary as well as the inverted dictionary.  Include your the Python program and the output in your submission. The code and its output must be explained technically. The explanation can be provided before or after the code, or in the form of comments within the code.
