Question

PYTHON

Define the remove_e_synonyms() function which is passed a dictionary as a parameter. The keys of the parameter dictionary are words and the corresponding values are lists of synonyms (synonyms are words which have the same or nearly the same meaning). The function removes all the synonyms which contain the letter 'e' or 'E') from each corresponding list of synonyms. As well, the function sorts each corresponding list of synonyms. Note: the testing code makes use of the print_dict_in_key_order(a_dict) which prints the dictionary pairs in sorted key order. You do not need to define this function. For example, the following code: synonyms_dict = {'look': ['gaze', 'see', 'glance', 'watch', 'peruse'], 'put': ['place', 'set', 'attach', 'keep', 'save', 'set aside', 'effect', 'achieve', 'do', 'build'], 'beautiful': ['pretty', 'lovely', 'handsome', 'dazzling', 'splendid', 'magnificent'], 'slow': ['unhurried', 'gradual', 'leisurely', 'late', 'behind', 'tedious', 'slack'], 'dangerous': ['perilous', 'hazardous', 'uncertain'] remove_e_synonyms (synonyms_dict) print("1.") print_dict_in_key_order(synonyms_dict) synonyms_dict = {'come': ['approach', 'advance', 'near', 'arrive', 'reach'], 'show': ['display', 'exhibit', 'present', 'point to', 'indicate', 'explain', 'prove', 'demonstrate', 'expose'], 'good': ['excellent', 'fine', 'superior', 'wonderful', 'grand', 'superb', 'edifying'), 'bad': ['evil', 'immoral', 'wicked', 'contaminated', 'spoiled', 'defective', 'substandard', 'faulty', 'improper', 'inappropriate'] remove_e_synonyms (synonyms_dict) print("\n2.") print_dict_in_key_order (synonyms_dict) prints: 1. beautiful : ['dazzling'] dangerous : ['hazardous'] look : ['watch'] put : ['attach', 'build', 'do'] slow : ['gradual', 'slack'] 2. bad : ['faulty', 'immoral', 'substandard'] come : ['approach'] good : ['grand'] show : ['display', 'point to']

Hi. I have answered this same question before. Here is the completed code for this problem. Comments are included, go through it, learn how things work and let me know if you have any doubts or if you need anything to change. If you are satisfied with the solution, please rate the answer. Thanks

Note: Please maintain proper code spacing (indentation), just copy the code part and paste it in your compiler/IDE directly, no modifications required.

'''required method '''
def remove_e_synonyms(synonyms_dict):
    #looping through each key in synonyms_dict
    for key in synonyms_dict:
        #getting value (list of synonyms) for current key
        value=synonyms_dict[key]
        #finding last index of value list
        index=len(value)-1
        #looping in reverse (so that we can delete elements on the go)
        while index>=0:
            #checking if current synonym has the letter 'e' in it
            if 'e' in value[index].lower():
                #removing element at index position from value list
                value.pop(index)
            #moving to previous element
            index-=1
        #now we have removed all synonyms of current key that contains 'e' or 'E'
        #we need to sort this synonyms list before adding, so we simply call sort()
        value.sort()
        #updating the dict with modified synonyms list for current key value
        synonyms_dict[key]=value
