Division of nested dictionary

Question

I have two dictionaries. one is a nested dictionary and another one is general dictionary. I want to do some divisions:

dict1 = {'document1': {'a': 3, 'b': 1, 'c': 5}, 'document2': {'d': 2, 'e': 4}}

dict2 = {'document1': 28, 'document2': 36}

I want to use the inner dictionary values form dict1 to divided by the value of matching document in dict2. The expect output would be: enter code here

dict3 = {'document1': {'a': 3/28, 'b': 1/28, 'c': 5/28}, 'document2': {'d': 2/36, 'e': 4/36}}

I tried using two for loop to run each dictionary, but values will be duplicate multiple times and I have no idea how to fix this? Does anyone has idea of how to achieve this goal? I would be appreciate it!``

Answer 1

You can achieve this using dictionary comprehension.

dict3 = {} # create a new dictionary


# iterate dict1 keys, to get value from dict2, which will be used to divide dict 1 values

for d in dict1:
       y  = dict2[d] 
       dict3[d] = {k:(v/y) for k, v in dict1[d].items() }
