Task: Creating a Mapping Mechanism
I’m attempting to devise a mapping mechanism that consolidates keys with similar values into a single value. Initially, I’ve successfully implemented this mechanism for a smaller dictionary. However, I now face the challenge of extending this approach to accommodate a larger dictionary, containing over 10,000 keys.
Example Scenario:
Consider the following dictionary:
product_dict = {
"1234": "pizzahut large",
"4323": "large pizzahut",
"2456": "big pizza hut",
"23232": "pizza hut huge",
"12312": "pizza small hut",
"434334": "small hut pizza",
"23421": "pizza large hut",
"54332": "small category of pizza of pizza hut",
"431223": "this is large category of pizza hut",
"454334": "cheese pizza"
}
Desired Outcome :
{
"pizzahut large": ["1234", "4323", "2456", "23232", "23421", "431223"],
"pizzahut small": ["12312", "434334", "54332"]
}
Request:
I’m seeking guidance on how to efficiently handle this task for a larger dictionary. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
