How to shuffle a dictionary randomly using Python
In order to achieve a certain functionality in my python code, i need to shuffle the keys of the dictionary in a random manner.
Not sure, how to do this in python code.
Any help will be appreciated !
The standard inbuilt random library can be used to shuffle any of the collective data types such as array, set, list, dictionary.
It comes with an inbuilt shuffle method, which can be applied to the elements of the list or the keys of the dictionary.
Check the sample code below:
import random
dict = {'X': 24, 'Y': 25, 'Z': 26}
print(dict)
listfromdict = list(dict.keys())
random.shuffle(listfromdict)
for k in listfromdict:
print (k,dict[k])
{'X': 24, 'Y': 25, 'Z': 26}
Y 25
X 24
Z 26Published on 10 NOVEMBER 2022 at 1:3
