Python generating random ASCII OrderedDict

9. OrderedDict from Random Data

Write a Python program that creates an OrderedDict and populates it with random integer values as values and their ASCII characters as keys. Print the OrderedDict.

Sample Solution:

Code:

import random
from collections import OrderedDict

def  random_ascii():
    return chr(random.randint(65, 90))

def main():
    ordered_dict = OrderedDict()

    for _ in range(10):
        key = random_ascii()
        value = random.randint(1, 50)
        ordered_dict[key] = value

    print("OrderedDict:", ordered_dict)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Output:

OrderedDict: OrderedDict([('Y', 43), ('B', 22), ('M', 9), ('D', 32), ('X', 27), ('N', 19), ('G', 19)])

In the exercise above, the "random_ascii()" function generates a random ASCII character using the "chr()" function and 'random.randint' to select a value within the ASCII range of uppercase letters (A-Z). The "main()" function creates an 'OrderedDict' and populates it with 10 random key-value pairs, where the key is a random ASCII character and the value is a random integer between 1 and 50. Finally, it prints the generated 'OrderedDict'.

For more Practice: Solve these Related Problems:

• Write a Python program to generate a list of random integers, convert each integer to its corresponding ASCII character, and then create an OrderedDict mapping characters to integers.
• Write a Python script to create an OrderedDict with random integer values as keys (converted to characters) and then print the dictionary.
• Write a Python program to populate an OrderedDict with keys as random ASCII characters and values as random integers, and then display the OrderedDict in order.
• Write a Python function to create an OrderedDict from randomly generated data, ensuring that the keys are unique ASCII characters, and then print its contents.
