I want to combine these: keys = ['name', 'age', 'food'] values = ['Monty', 42, 'spam'] Into a single dictionary: {'name': 'Monty', 'age': 42, 'food': 'spam'}

 

You can combine the keys and values lists into a single dictionary in Python using the zip() function along with a dictionary comprehension. Here's how you can do it:

python

keys = ['name', 'age', 'food']
values = ['Monty', 42, 'spam']

result_dict = {k: v for k, v in zip(keys, values)}

print(result_dict)  # Output: {'name': 'Monty', 'age': 42, 'food': 'spam'}

In this example, zip(keys, values) pairs up the corresponding elements from the keys and values lists, and the dictionary comprehension {k: v for k, v in ...} constructs a dictionary using those pairs. The result is the desired dictionary {'name': 'Monty', 'age': 42, 'food': 'spam'}.
