Is there a neat way of looking up the key of a dictionary by an atom value if that atom is inside a value list ?
Assumption: The value lists of the dictionary have each unique elements
Example:
d:`tech`fin!(`aapl`msft;`gs`jpm) / would like to get key `fin by looking up `jpm
d?`gs`jpm / returns `fin as expected
d?`jpm / this doesn't work unfortunately
$[`jpm in d`fin;`fin;`tech] / this is the only way I can come up with
The last option does not scale well with the number of keys
Thanks!
You can take advantage of how where
operates with dictionaries, and use in
:
where `jpm in/:d
,`fin
Note this will return a list, so you might need to do first
on the output if you want to replicate what you have above.
