Unit 3 Session 1 (Click for link to problem statements)

U-nderstand

Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.

  • When we call the function, what will that input parameter be used for?
    • It will be the dictionary the loop iterates over.

P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Call the function with the input dictionary.

1) Extract the unique parts of each string (there will be two)
2) Create a dictionary with the first parts as the keys and the second as the values
3) Call the function with the dictionary as the input
