Below is my code:
import heapq
sentences_scores = {'Fruit': 6, 'Apple': 5, 'Vegetables': 3, 'Cabbage': 9, 'Banana': 1}
summary = heapq.nlargest(3, sentences_scores, key = sentences_scores.get)
text = ""
for sentence in summary:
text = text + sentence + ' '
print(text)
I get the output:
Cabbage Fruit Apple
But i want to get the output:
Fruit Apple Cabbage
How can i do that?
First of all, your dictionary is not ordered, so you can't get the same order out; the order literally does not exist. As comments say, use OrderedDict instead.
Also, if you are working with fruit, don't name your variable sentences. :P
import heapq
from collections import OrderedDict
fruit_scores = OrderedDict([('Fruit', 6), ('Apple', 5), ('Vegetables', 3), ('Cabbage', 9), ('Banana', 1)])
best_fruit = heapq.nlargest(3, sentences_scores, key = sentences_scores.get)
best_fruit_scores = OrderedDict((fruit, score)
for fruit, score in fruit_scores.items() if fruit in best_fruit)
# => OrderedDict([('Fruit', 6), ('Apple', 5), ('Cabbage', 9)])
best_fruit_names = [fruit
for fruit in fruit_scores if fruit in best_fruit]
# => ['Fruit', 'Apple', 'Cabbage']
nlargest returns a sorted list
Equivalent to: sorted(iterable, key=key, reverse=True)[:n]
To get the list in the original order you can iterate over the dict to find the elements in the results
original_order = [key for key in sentences_scores.keys() if key in summary] # ['Fruit', 'Apple', 'Cabbage']
