Sort dictionary by values Program Code

# Sort dictionary by values
scores = {"Physics": 76, "Math": 94, "Chemistry": 85, "Biology": 91, "English": 88}
print("Original:", scores)

# Method 1: Sort by values ascending
sorted_by_values_asc = dict(sorted(scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]))
print("By values (ascending):", sorted_by_values_asc)

# Method 2: Sort by values descending
sorted_by_values_desc = dict(sorted(scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True))
print("By values (descending):", sorted_by_values_desc)

# Method 3: Get top 3 highest scores
top_3 = dict(sorted(scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)[:3])
print("Top 3 scores:", top_3)

# Method 4: Get lowest 2 scores
lowest_2 = dict(sorted(scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1])[:2])
print("Lowest 2 scores:", lowest_2)
