dict1 = {a: 5, b: 7}
dict2 = {a: 3, c: 1}
result {a:8, b:7, c:1}
How can I get the result?
this is a one-liner that would do just that:
dict1 = {'a': 5, 'b': 7}
dict2 = {'a': 3, 'c': 1}
result = {key: dict1.get(key, 0) + dict2.get(key, 0)
for key in set(dict1) | set(dict2)}
# {'c': 1, 'b': 7, 'a': 8}
note that set(dict1) | set(dict2)
is the set of the keys of both your dictionaries. and dict1.get(key, 0)
returns dict1[key]
if the key exists, 0
otherwise.
this works on a more recent python version:
{k: dict1.get(k, 0) + dict2.get(k, 0) for k in dict1.keys() | dict2.keys()}
You can use collections.Counter
which implements addition +
that way:
>>> from collections import Counter
>>> dict1 = Counter({'a': 5, 'b': 7})
>>> dict2 = Counter({'a': 3, 'c': 1})
>>> dict1 + dict2
Counter({'a': 8, 'b': 7, 'c': 1})
if you really want the result as dict you can cast it back afterwards:
>>> dict(dict1 + dict2)
{'a': 8, 'b': 7, 'c': 1}
