Sometimes, while working with records, we can have a problem in which we have data and need to convert to key-value dictionary using adjacent elements. This problem can have application in web development domain. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this task can be performed.

Method #1 : Using dict() + dictionary comprehension + slicing
The above functionalities can be used to solve this problem. In this, we just slice alternate parts of tuple and assign corresponding values using dictionary comprehension. The result is converted to dictionary using dict().

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Convert tuple to adjacent pair dictionary
# using dict() + dictionary comprehension + slicing

# initialize tuple
test_tup = (1, 5, 7, 10, 13, 5)

# printing original tuple
print("The original tuple : " + str(test_tup))

# Convert tuple to adjacent pair dictionary
# using dict() + dictionary comprehension + slicing
res = dict(test_tup[idx : idx + 2] for idx in range(0, len(test_tup), 2))

# printing result
print("Dictionary converted tuple : " + str(res))

Output :

The original tuple : (1, 5, 7, 10, 13, 5)
Dictionary converted tuple : {1: 5, 13: 5, 7: 10}

Method #2 : Using dict() + zip() + slicing
This performs this task in similar way as above method. The difference is that it uses zip() instead of dictionary comprehension to perform task of pairing key-value pair.

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Convert tuple to adjacent pair dictionary
# using dict() + zip() + slicing

# initialize tuple
test_tup = (1, 5, 7, 10, 13, 5)

# printing original tuple
print("The original tuple : " + str(test_tup))

# Convert tuple to adjacent pair dictionary
# using dict() + zip() + slicing
res = dict(zip(test_tup[::2], test_tup[1::2]))

# printing result
print("Dictionary converted tuple : " + str(res))

Output :

The original tuple : (1, 5, 7, 10, 13, 5)
Dictionary converted tuple : {1: 5, 13: 5, 7: 10}
