## Merge two |
||||
|
||||
One very useful data structure in Python are the dictionaries, in this exercise we will start to familiarize and use them. |
||||
|
||||
### Instructions |
||||
|
||||
Create a file `merge_two.py` which will have a function named `merge_two()`. This function will accept two dictionaries and return a third one which will be the merge of the two inputs. |
||||
|
||||
Here is the prototype of the function: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
def merge_two(first_dict, second_dict): |
||||
# this is a function, |
||||
# write your code here |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
### Usage |
||||
|
||||
Here is a possible code to test your function. Put it in another file (ex: `test.py`): |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
from merge_two import merge_two |
||||
|
||||
first = { |
||||
"Bob": 36, |
||||
"Louise": 23, |
||||
"Lea": 34 |
||||
} |
||||
second = { |
||||
"Louise": 44, |
||||
"Romolo": 30, |
||||
"Lea": 22 |
||||
} |
||||
print(merge_two(first, second)) |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Run your test file with the following command: |
||||
|
||||
```console |
||||
$ python3 test.py |
||||
{'Bob': 36, 'Louise': 44, 'Lea': 22, 'Romolo': 30} |
||||
$ |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
### Hints |
||||
|
||||
- If a key is repeated in both dictionaries the value retained will be the one in `second_dict`. |
||||
|
||||
- There is different ways to merge dictionaries, take the time to understand the differences in between those techniques and try more than one technique to better retain it. |
