Get key by value in dictionary

Question

I made a function which will look up ages in a Dictionary and show the matching name:

dictionary = {\'george\' : 16, \'amber\' : 19}
search_age          


        

Answer 1

I tried to read as many solutions as I can to prevent giving duplicate answer. However, if you are working on a dictionary which values are contained in lists and if you want to get keys that have a particular element you could do this:

d = {'Adams': [18, 29, 30],
     'Allen': [9, 27],
     'Anderson': [24, 26],
     'Bailey': [7, 30],
     'Baker': [31, 7, 10, 19],
     'Barnes': [22, 31, 10, 21],
     'Bell': [2, 24, 17, 26]}

Now lets find names that have 24 in their values.

for key in d.keys():    
    if 24 in d[key]:
        print(key)

This would work with multiple values as well.
