Introduction
Dealing with dictionaries in Python can sometimes be tricky, especially when you're trying to extract or manipulate their values based on specific keys. If you're a beginner tackling this problem, you're not alone! Many find it a bit overwhelming at first. In this post, we'll explore how to iterate through a dictionary's values to find and output specific data based on the keys you're interested in.
The Problem
Consider the following dictionary structure:

The challenge here is to iterate through this dictionary to find values that are connected to specific keys ('6', '4', and '13'). Additionally, the values are currently strings, which adds a layer of complexity. The objective is to transform this data into a new dictionary that excludes certain keys and aggregates the values in a specific format.
Expected Output
Your desired output looks like this:

The Solution
To achieve this, we can break down the solution into organized steps. Here's how:
Step 1: Prepare Your Data
First, you need to ensure that the values in your dictionary are usable. Since the values are strings of numbers, it's best to convert them into lists of integers for easier manipulation.

Step 2: Iterate Through the Dictionary
Next, you'll want to iterate through your dictionary and check if your desired keys ('6', '4', '13') are present in the values of other keys. If they are, you'll collect the appropriate values.
Here's an example code snippet:

Step 3: Review the Output
Finally, after running the above code, you would generate dict_out, which should be organized as you expected it to be:

Important Note
As highlighted, the original values in your dictionary were strings. If converting to a list of integers doesn't work for your data structure, make sure to adapt the input format accordingly.
Conclusion
While the task of iterating through dictionary values in Python can seem daunting, breaking it down into smaller steps can help you grasp the process better. Remember to verify your input data, utilize loops wisely, and test your code thoroughly. With practice, you'll find this process to be straightforward and rewarding. Happy coding!
