Learning my way around list comprehension a bit. I wonder if
someone has a better way to solve this issue. I have a two element
dictionary, and I know one of the keys but not the other, and I want
to look up the other one.
So I have this dictionary:
aDict = {'a': 'bob', 'b': 'stu'}
I know that the dictionary contains two keys/value pairs, but I
don't know the values nor that the keys will be 'a' and 'b'. I
finally get one of the keys passed to me as variable BigOne. e.g.:
BigOne = "a"
The other key, call it littleOne remains unknown. It might be "b"
but could be "c", "x", etc... I later need to access both values...
I have something that works, with list comprehension - but wonder if
there's a more brief/elegant way to get there:
BigValu = aDict[BigOne]
temp = [ thing for thing in aDict if thing != BigOne ]
LittleValu = aDict[ temp[0] ]
Any thoughts?
