Data structures unique_values(a_dict:dict)-> dict
This function will receive a single dictionary parameter known as a_dict. a_dict will contain a single letter as a string and numbers as values. This function is supposed to search a_dict to find all values that appear only once in the a_dict. The function will create another dictionary named to_ret. For all values that appear once in a_dict the function will add the value as a key in to_ret and set the value of the key to the key of the value in a_dict (swap the key-value pairs, since a_dict contains letters to numbers, to_ret will contain Numbers to Letters). Finally, the function should return to_ret.
Example:
a_dict: {'X': 2, 'Y': 5, 'N': 2, 'L': 2, 'W': 1, 'G': 0, 'R': 1}
Expected: {5: 'Y', 0: 'G'}
a_dict: {'Z': 3, 'P': 3, 'E': 2, 'G': 0, 'T': 5, 'L': 1, 'Q': 0}
to_ret: {2: 'E', 5: 'T', 1: 'L'}
a_dict: {'E': 3, 'X': 3}
to_ret: {}
a_dict: {'G': 3, 'D': 3, 'C': 4, 'Q': 1, 'H': 1, 'M': 2, 'Z': 1, 'W': 3}
to_ret: {4: 'C', 2: 'M'}…

- Data structures dict_from_string(dict_str:str)->dict This function will be given a single parameter, a string representing a dictionary. Your job is to convert the string into an actual dictionary and return the dictionary. Make sure all key-value pairs in the string exist in the newly created dictionary. The string will contain only numbers or single letters as key values pairs. Make sure all letters are kept as strings and all numbers are converted to integers in the newly created dictionary. Example: String Input: '{9: 'V', 'G': 0, 'M': 9, 'u': 3, 2: 'o', 8: 'u', 'q': 9, 'D': 1}' Expected: {9: 'V', 'G': 0, 'M': 9, 'u': 3, 2: 'o', 8: 'u', 'q': 9, 'D': 1} String Input: '{10: 'D', 1: 'Z', 5: 'a'}' Expected: {10: 'D', 1: 'Z', 5: 'a'} String Input: '{'M': 2, 'V': 0, 3: 'x', 6: 'J', 5: 'J', 7: 'T', 8: 'P', 4: 'q', 1: 'h'}' Expected: {'M': 2, 'V': 0, 3: 'x', 6: 'J', 5: 'J', 7: 'T', 8: 'P', 4: 'q', 1: 'h'} String Input: '{3: 'D', 10: 'T', 7: 'm', 'u': 9, 't': 5, 6: 'Z', 'H': 10, 'B':…arrow_forwardPython Programming Assignment: Create a dictionary that takes a basketball team's information (that includes team's name and points) as parameter, creates a teams_dict and returns it.

Your job is to combine all the dictionaries found in the dictionary list into a single dictionary and return it. There are two rules for adding values to the dictionary: 1. You must add key-value pairs to the dictionary in the same order they are found in the Dictionary List. 2. If the key already exists, it cannot be overwritten. In other words, if two or more dictionaries have the same key, the key to be added cannot be overwritten by the subsequent dictionaries. Example: Dictionary List: [{'Z': 6, 'k': 10, 'w': 3, 'I': 8, 'Y': 5}, {'Y': 1, 'Z': 4}, {'X': 2, 'L': 5}] Expected: {'Z': 6, 'k': 10, 'w': 3, 'I': 8, 'Y': 5, 'X': 2, 'L': 5} Dictionary List: [{'z': 0}, {'z': 7}] Expected: {'z': 0} Dictionary List: [{'b': 7}, {'b': 10, 'A': 8, 'Z': 2, 'V': 1}] Expected: {'b': 7, 'A': 8, 'Z': 2, 'V': 1}arrow_forward
- Given an alphanumeric list, separate it into three different lists stored in a dictionary: • The first list should only contain lowercase letters. • The second list should only contain uppercase letters. • The third list should only contain numbers. Each list stored in the dictionary should be stored in ascending order. Use the following naming convention when creating your lists: • numbers. • uppercase • lowercase Make sure that you adhere to the above instruction, as the name of your lists will be used to mark your function. Arguments: • character_list: (list) → list of alphanumeric characters. Return: dictionary (dict) → dictionary containing all three lists.

- Word FrequencyWrite a python program that reads the contents of a text file. The program should create a dictio-nary inwhich the keys are the individual words found in the file and the values are the number of timeseach word appears. For example, if the word “the” appears 128 times, the dictionary wouldcontain an element with 'the' as the key and 128 as the value. The program should eitherdisplay the frequency of each word or create a second file containing a list of each word and itsfrequency.arrow_forwardAssume the variable dct references a dictionary.
