Question

Python Language - Cant seem to get the correct output. Also, need through explanation if possible. much appreciative

XXXXX PYTHON>>>>>>>>> Write a function named shareOneLetter that takes one parameter, wordList a list of words. Create and return a dictionary in which each word in wordList is a key and the corresponding value is a list of all the words in wordList that share at least one letter with that word. There should be no duplicate words in any value in the dictionary. For example, the following is correct output: print(shareOneLetter(horton)) {'I': ['I'], 'say': ['say', 'what', 'mean', 'and'], 'what': ['say', 'what', 'mean', 'and'], 'mean': ['say', 'what', 'mean', 'and'], 'and': ['say', 'what', 'mean', 'and']}

Answer 1

Source Code:

def ShareOneLetter(wordList):
   myDict={}
   for item in wordList: # for each word in wordList
       temp=[] # take an empty list to add items of word List which are matched
       for ch in item: # check for each charcter in item what are the matching words
           for ele in wordList: # this loop checks for all match words for the letter ch
               if (ch in ele) and (ele not in temp): # if the letter is matched in item and item not already present
                   temp.append(ele) # append to temp
       myDict[item]=temp # append the list of items matched
   return myDict # return the dictionary

horton=['I','say','what','mean','and']
print(ShareOneLetter(horton))
