Here is a simplified scenario of what I am trying to do. I have two dictionaries:
dictA = {"apple": 1, "orange": 2, "chocolate": 3, "mango": 4}
dictB = {"man": "abc", "or": "asdf", "app": "fasdfkl"}
How do I make it print (The actual order of the three keys+values do not matter):
I can find...
orange2
mango4
apple1
I cannot find...
chocolate3
I have attempted to do something like this but got stuck on the second part.
print "I can find ..."
for itemA in dictA:
for itemB in dictB:
if itemA.startswith(itemB):
print itemA + str(dictA[itemA])
It would print
I can find ...
orange2
mango4
apple1
Start by simplifing the first loop to this
print "I can find ..."
for itemA in dictA:
if any(itemA.startswith(itemB) for itemB in dictB):
print itemA + str(dictA[itemA])
The second loop would use if not any(...)
This isn't a very efficient algorithm, but I guess you are just doing an exercise
