Make a string into dictionary

Question

In the below string we have to get slipt the dict vals with the & and the keys are are LHS and their respective RHS are values in the dict.

Input

s = 'term=food&location=New York'

Expected Output

I've tried

a_dict = dict([s.strip('{}').split("&"),])
pairs=[item.split('=')for item in items]
d = dict(pairs)

Help me out

Answer 1

Here's a short way of doing it

s = 'term=food&location=New York'
s = [item.split('=') for item in s.split('&')]

print(dict(s))

Outputs:

{'term': 'food', 'location': 'New York'}

Answer 2

s = 'term=food&location=New York'
a_dict = s.split("&")
pairs=[item.split('=')for item in a_dict]   
d = dict(pairs)
