Original Writeup on seall.dev

We need to combine two dict’s, when conflicting keys occur overwrite the value in the first dict with the one from the second. We are given them in strings.

String Dict input: {‘a’: 1, ‘b’: 2, ‘c’: 3}, {‘b’: 4, ‘d’: 5}

Merged Output: {‘a’: 1, ‘b’: 4, ‘c’: 3, ‘d’: 5}

# Input two dictionaries as strings
dict1_str = input()
dict2_str = input()

# Write your solution below and make sure to print the dictionary
from json import loads
d1 = loads(dict1_str.replace("'", "\""))
d2 = loads(dict2_str.replace("'", "\""))
dout = d1

for k in d2.keys():
    dout[k] = d2[k]

print(dout)
