How can I make a dictionary (dict) from separate lists of keys and values?

You can use the zip function to create a dictionary from separate lists of keys and values like this:

Using the zip function to create a dictionary from separate lists of keys and values in Python

keys = ['a', 'b', 'c']
values = [1, 2, 3]
my_dict = dict(zip(keys, values))
print(my_dict)  # {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

Alternatively, you can also use the dict constructor and pass it a list of tuples, where each tuple consists of a key-value pair:

keys = ['a', 'b', 'c']
values = [1, 2, 3]
my_dict = dict([(keys[i], values[i]) for i in range(len(keys))])
print(my_dict)  # {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
