How to add data into a dictionary from two lists

Question

I have two lists

teams = [ India, Australia, England ]
ratings = [ 12, 16, 11 ]

I want a dictionary like this

dict = { 'India':12, 'Australia':16, 'England':11}

I was trying to get it through looping elements of the first list, but I can't add two counters.

len1 = len(teams)
for x in range(1, len1):
    dict1[x] = rating
    print dict1

How do I create this dictionary?

`dict(zip(teams, ratings))` will do the trick. – TayTay Aug 07 '18 at 14:09 — TayTay, Aug 07 '18 at 14:09
d = {k:v for k,v in zip(teams, ratings)} – Shan Aug 07 '18 at 14:10 — Shan, Aug 07 '18 at 14:10

Using dict with zip

Ex:

teams = [ 'India', 'Australia', 'England' ]
ratings = [ 12, 16, 11 ]
print(dict(zip(teams, ratings)))

Output:

{'England': 11, 'Australia': 16, 'India': 12}

From your original code, one counter is enough. But lists are zero indexed

for x in range(len1):
    dict1[teams[x]] = ratings[x]
