Python interview exercise on Dicts & Sets, difficulty 2 of 3. Solve it in the editor beside a worked example; the tests run the moment you do.
Write group_by(items, key) that returns a dict mapping each key(item) to the list of items that produced it, in input order.
Each exercise pairs a worked example with a twin problem to solve in a real editor; the tests run the moment you do. Progress is saved in your browser, and in your account if you sign in.
