I have the following information
A={'g2': [4,5,3], 'g1': [1, 3]}
B=[2,3,5]
Now I want to remeove the elements in B if they are present (as values) in
dictionary A.
My expected solution is
A= {'g2': [4], 'g1': [1] }
I wrote the following piece of code which gives me thhe right code, but I am
sure there must be a much shorter and more elegant way of doing it. Please
suggest
reject_list=[]
for element in B:
for key in A.keys():
for i in range(len(A[key])):
if element==A[key][i]:
reject_list.append((key,A[key][i]))
print reject_list
for i in range(len(reject_list)):
print (reject_list[i][0],reject_list[i][1])
Index=A[reject_list[i][0]].index(reject_list[i][1])
print (reject_list[i][0],reject_list[i][1],Index)
del A[reject_list[i][0]][Index]
print A
result obtained:
{'g2': [4], 'g1': [1]}
