Python Forum

Hi there,

I am a newbie into Python and programming in general. While studying python list and dictionaries I stumbled upon a scenario, hear me out please :).

Problem statement:

Scenario 1:
Given a series of numbers list

my_l = [1,3]
gc_i = 1 #i want 1 group

write a function that returns a dictionary like this

my_d = calculate_group (my_l, gc_i);

result

{
0: "1,3"
}

Scenario 2:
Given a series of numbers list

my_l = [1,3]
gc_i = 2 #i want two groups

write a function that returns a dictionary like this

my_d = calculate_group (my_l, gc_i);

result

{
0: "1",
1: "3"
}

Scenario 3:
Given a series of numbers list

my_l = [1,3,2,33,34,36,86,88,99,5]
gc_i = 4 #i want 4 groups

write a function that returns a dictionary like this

my_d = calculate_group (my_l, gc_i);

result

{
0: "1,2,3,5"
1: "33,34,36",
2: "86,88",
3: "99"
}

Now my question is how to divide a list into dictionary based on number of groups provided?

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Sam.

I've moved this to the homework forum, since it looks copy/pasted from a homework assignment.  If that's not the case, that's fine.  Either way, please show your attempt, and we'll help with any issues you may have, but we won't do it for you.
