One common challenge is displaying this data in a user-friendly format such as an HTML table. In this guide, we will dive into a practical example of merging two dictionaries to achieve the desired output format for an HTML table. The Problem Imagine you have two dictionaries that track product quantities associated with various locations. For example: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Your goal is to combine these dictionaries into a single structure where: Each city's key appears only once. Each city has its quantity from A in the first index of its list and from B in the second index, using '0' for cities that don't exist in one of the dictionaries. The expected output structure would look like this: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Understanding the Requirement To achieve the above goals, we can effectively utilize Python's dictionary comprehensions along with the .get method. The .get method allows us to fetch values safely, providing a default value if the key isn't found — in this case, a list containing '0'. This way, we can ensure we don't run into KeyErrors. The Solution Below, we break down the solution step-by-step: Step 1: Using Dictionary Comprehension You can merge dictionaries A and B succinctly using dictionary comprehensions. Here's how to do it: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Step 2: Explanation of the Code k: A.get(k, ['0']): This part attempts to fetch the value for each key k from dictionary A. If k isn’t found, it defaults to ['0']. B.get(k, ['0']): Similarly, this section appends the value fetched from dictionary B (with a default of ['0'] if not found). for k in list(A) + list(B): It iterates over a combined list of keys from both dictionaries. Efficient Alternative We can further refine our code to avoid creating separate lists for A and B: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Here, A.keys() | B.keys() efficiently provides a union of keys from both dictionaries. Final Output Running either of the above code snippets will yield the desired output: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Conclusion In this guide, we've tackled the challenge of merging two dictionaries with Flask and Jinja2 to create a unified dataset for displaying in an HTML table. Utilizing dictionary comprehensions and the .get method allowed us to produce a clean and efficient solution. Whether you are developing a simple web application or building complex systems, understanding how to manipulate data structures like dictionaries is an essential skill.
