Last update on January 06 2025 13:30:54 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Python program to create an instance of an OrderedDict using a given dictionary. Sort the dictionary during the creation and print the members of the dictionary in reverse order.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from collections import OrderedDict
dict = {'Afghanistan': 93, 'Albania': 355, 'Algeria': 213, 'Andorra': 376, 'Angola': 244}
new_dict = OrderedDict(dict.items())
for key in new_dict:
    print (key, new_dict[key])

print("\nIn reverse order:")
for key in reversed(new_dict):
    print (key, new_dict[key])

Sample Output:

Afghanistan 93
Albania 355
Algeria 213
Andorra 376
Angola 244

In reverse order:
Angola 244
Andorra 376
Algeria 213
Albania 355
Afghanistan 93
