Why advanced operations handle complex data

📖 Scenario: Imagine you work in a small store. You have a list of sales data with product names and quantities sold. You want to find which products sold more than a certain number. This helps you understand your best sellers quickly.

🎯 Goal: You will create a dictionary with sales data, set a sales threshold, filter products that sold more than the threshold using a dictionary comprehension, and print the filtered results.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a dictionary called sales with exact product names and quantities

Create a variable called threshold with the value 20

Use a dictionary comprehension to create a new dictionary top_sellers with products selling more than threshold

Print the top_sellers dictionary

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Filtering data based on conditions is common in sales analysis, customer data, and many other fields to focus on important information.

💼 Career

Data analysts and scientists often use filtering and comprehension techniques to quickly process and analyze complex datasets.

1

Create the sales data dictionary

Create a dictionary called sales with these exact entries: 'Apples': 30, 'Bananas': 15, 'Cherries': 25, 'Dates': 10, 'Elderberries': 40.

Data Analysis Python

# Create the sales dictionary with product names and quantities
# Your code here

Hint

Use curly braces {} to create a dictionary with keys as product names and values as quantities.

2

Set the sales threshold

Create a variable called threshold and set it to 20.

Data Analysis Python

sales = {'Apples': 30, 'Bananas': 15, 'Cherries': 25, 'Dates': 10, 'Elderberries': 40}
# Create the threshold variable with value 20
# Your code here

Hint

Just assign the number 20 to the variable threshold.

3

Filter top selling products

Use a dictionary comprehension to create a new dictionary called top_sellers that includes only products from sales with quantities greater than threshold. Use for product, quantity in sales.items() in your comprehension.

Data Analysis Python

sales = {'Apples': 30, 'Bananas': 15, 'Cherries': 25, 'Dates': 10, 'Elderberries': 40}
threshold = 20
# Create top_sellers dictionary with products selling more than threshold
# Your code here

Hint

Use dictionary comprehension syntax: {key: value for key, value in dict.items() if condition}.

4

Print the filtered top sellers

Print the top_sellers dictionary.

Data Analysis Python

sales = {'Apples': 30, 'Bananas': 15, 'Cherries': 25, 'Dates': 10, 'Elderberries': 40}
threshold = 20
top_sellers = {product: quantity for product, quantity in sales.items() if quantity > threshold}
# Print the top_sellers dictionary
# Your code here

Hint

Use print(top_sellers) to show the filtered dictionary.
