Newbie to Python - Problem in accessing Dictionaries and List

[sambill]

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.
