Hi all,
I have a dictionary with n elements, and I want to get the m(m<=n)
keys with the largest values.
For example, I have dic that includes n=4 elements, I want m=2 keys
have the largest values)
dic = {0:4,3:1,5:2,7: 8}
So, the the largest values are [8,4], so the keys are [7,0].
Is there any fast way to implement this algorithm?
Any suggestions are welcome!
Best regards,
Davy

Have a look at http://docs.python.org//lib/module-heapq.html
Why are you doing that with key-value pairs? Why not with the array
module or lists?

The original poster asked about a problem with key-value pairs. I just
answered his question.

Hi,
The original question is a bit complex. I have to implement a sparse
matrix which use a dict of dict implementation.
For example, sp_mat = {1:{2:1,3:4},2: {4:6,8:9}}.
And I want to get m key with the largest values in each row? Any good
ideas?
Best regards,
Davy

#get a list of tuples, with value in 1st position, key second
li = [(value,key) for key, value in dic.items()]
#sort the list
li.sort()
m = 2
#grab the m highest values, from the end of the list
li_high_keys = [k for v, k in li[-m:]]
p.s. sorry if this ends up appearing multiple times, google groups can
be a bit cranky at times with postings.

Hi,
is it guaranteed that dict(zip(d.keys(), d.values())) == d?
In words, do .keys() and .values() always have the same order? Is
it safe to rely on this?
yours,
Gerrit.

Ok, the answer is easy: For historical reasons - built-in sets exist
only since Python 2.4.
Anyway, I was thinking about whether it would be possible and desirable
to change the old behavior in future Python versions and let dict.keys()
and dict.values() both return sets instead of lists.
If d is a dict, code like:
for x in d.keys():

Hi,
I have, suppose 1000 numbers, in a file. I have to find out 5
largest numbers among them without sorting. Can you please give me an
efficient idea to do this? My idea is to put those numbers into a

This has been bothering me for a while. Just want to find out if it
just me or perhaps others have thought of this too: Why shouldn't the
keyset of a dictionary be represented as a set instead of a list? I
know that sets were introduced a lot later and lists/dictionaries were
used instead but I think "the only correct way" now is for the
dictionary keys and values to be sets. Presently {1:0,2:0,3:0}.keys()
will produce but it could also...

Who can help solve this problem???
Finding the Largest Value
(a) write a function, largest(), that returns the largest value in a signed integer array. The array and its size are passed as arguments.
(b)Write a main program that inputs MAX values from the keyboard into a signed
integer array, array, and points, using largest(), the largest value to the screen.

Hi everybody!
Given a dictionary, I want to create a clustered version of it,
collecting keys that have the same value:
{1:, 2:, 3:}
That is, generate a new dict which holds for each value of the old dict
a list of the keys of the old dict that have that very value.
