Hi Tutors,
Background:
1. I have a dictionary with 4 keys and some repeated
values for each key.
>>> dida
{'NM_001033044': [32842023, 32842023, 32842023,
32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023,
32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32843894,
32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894,
32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32844846,
32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846,
32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32845745],
'NM_002065': [32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023,
32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023,
32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32843894, 32843894,
32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894,
32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32844846, 32844846,
32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846,
32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32845745], 'NM_015701':
[32844783, 32844783, 32844783, 32844783, 32844783,
32844783], 'NM_001033056': [32842023, 32842023,
32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023,
32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023, 32842023,
32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894,
32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894, 32843894,
32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846,
32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846, 32844846,
32845745]}
In the case of 'dida', the list of values have
repeated elements. So I got rid of duplicates in the
value lists (value as in key:value pair) in the case
of 'didi'
>>> didi
{'NM_001033044': [32842023, 32843894, 32844846,
32845745], 'NM_002065': [32844846, 32842023, 32845745,
32843894], 'NM_015701': [32844783], 'NM_001033056':
[32843894, 32844846, 32845745, 32842023]}
Question:
1. How can I get A^B^C^D(^ = intersection) where A, B,
C and D are keys from dida or didi.
2. How can I store values generated dynamically. For
example, here in 'dida' I know there are 4 keys, but
how can I create 4 lists while running in for loop and
store the key values in 'dida'.
Do I have to write an class object that will create
empty lists depending on number of keys a dictionary
has?
I am loosing my mind because I do not know how to
store the values for each key in a loop and do set
operations.
For instance, I tried the following way:
>>> for m in range(len(didi.keys())):
... x = m+1
... a = Set(didi[didi.keys()[m]])
... print a
...
Set([32845745, 32844846, 32843894, 32842023])
Set([32845745, 32843894, 32844846, 32842023])
Set([32844783])
Set([32845745, 32844846, 32843894, 32842023])
I would be happy, if I could store all 4 sets
(above)into listsor sets A, B, C and D and do
(A^B)^(C^D).
Could any one help me please.
My ultimate goal is to do set operations on this
dictionary. If things get more complicated, I will
seek R's help through RPy.
Thanks
