Query a nested data structure
Level: Beginner (score: 2)
Given the provided cars dictionary:
- Get all Jeeps
- Get the first car of every manufacturer.
- Get all vehicles containing the string Trail in their names (should work for other grep too)
- Sort the models (
values) alphabetically
See the docstrings and tests for more details. Have fun!
Update 18th of Sept 2018: as concluded in the forum it is better to pass the cars dict into each function to make its scope local.
Update 9th of March 2022: doing this exercise again ourselves today, we concluded that adding type hints would be quite beneficial here so we added them.
Update 27th of January 2025: the global scope of the cars dict was still causing issues (see here, note there are spoilers!), so removing default arguments + using deepcopy in the tests to work with new copies for each test.
