Test if dict contained in dict

Question

I have these 2 dicts:

a  = {1:"abc", 2:"xyz", 3:"efg"}
b = {1:"abc", 2:"xyz", 3:"trois", 4:"bar"}

I want to test if a is a subset of b. What should i do?

Answer 1

You can use the following piece of code to check your condition:

EXAMPLE:

a  = {1:"abc", 2:"xyz", 3:"efg"}
b = {1:"abc", 2:"xyz", 3:"tro", 4:"bar"}
if a.items() <= b.items():
    print("a is subset of b")
else:
    print("a is not a subset of b")

OUTPUT:

a is not a subset of b
