i have list composed tuples.
each tuple in following tuple format: (string, integer).
i want merge tuples have same head (string) follows:
[("foo", 2), ("bar", 4), ("foo", 2), ("bar", 4), ("foo", 2)] should become:
[("foo", 6), ("bar",8)]. what python algorithm this?
how collecting sums in defaultdict?
from collections import defaultdict d = defaultdict(int) (key, value) in items: d[key] += value and turn them list of tuples:
list(d.items()) the defaultdict in example uses int function fill in unknown values 0. first time particular d[key] added to, assumes initial value of 0 , gets summed there.
