Question

Taylor and Rory are hosting a party. They sent out invitations, and each one collected responses into dictionaries, with names of their friends and how many guests each friend is bringing. Each dictionary is a partial list, but Rory's list has more current information about the number of guests. Fill in the blanks to combine both dictionaries into one, with each friend listed only once, and the number of guests from Rory's dictionary taking precedence, if a name is included in both dictionaries. Then print the resulting dictionary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the code to this question:

def combine_guest(guest1, guest2):#defining a method combine_guest that accepts two dictionary

   guest2.update (guest1)#use dictionary guest2 that use update method to update guest2 dictionary

   return guest2#return guest2 dictionary values

Rory_guest= { "Ada":2, "Ben":3, "Dav":1, "Jo":3, "Charry":2, "Terry":1, "bob":4}#defining a dictionary and add value

Taylor_guest = { "Dav":4, "Nan":1, "bobert":2, "Ada":1, "Samantha":3, "Chr":5}#defining a dictionary and add value

print(combine_guest(Rory_guest,Taylor_guest))#calling the combine_guest method

Output:

{'Nan': 1, 'Samantha': 3, 'Ada': 2, 'bob': 4, 'Terry': 1, 'Jo': 3, 'Ben': 3, 'Dav': 1, 'Charry': 2, 'bobert': 2, 'Chr': 5}

Explanation:

In the code a method, "combine_guest" is defined, that accepts two dictionaries "guest1, guest2" inside the method, in which the "guest2" dictionary uses the update method to combine the value of the guest1 dictionary and use a return keyword to return guest2 values.

In the next step, two dictionaries are declared, that holds some values and use a print method to call the "combine_guest" method and prints its return values.
