Question
Python
![In mathematics it can be quite tedious to re-calculate values every time for a non-changing value or list.
Thus look-up tables are handy to have to save time on re-calculating values. This can also be useful in
computer science to save time on getting a stored result in a database vs. recalculating the the result.
Define a function lookup_table() that takes in 2 parameters:
operations is a dictionary that has function names as its keys and function objects as its values
• input_value (list, float, or integer) is the input value on which you want to run all the defined functions
in the operations dictionary.
The function will return a dictionary that contains the key names from the operations parameter dictionary
and the values will be results obtained by applying functions stored in operations dictionary values to the
given input_value.
For example:
a = {'sum': sum, 'avg’: np.median}
result = lookup_table(a, [2, 4, 6])
. The result would be
{'sum': 12, 'avg’: 4.0}
Your solution should not import numpy.
Hint do not over think this question, or be held up by how functions can be passed into a function and then
called again. Its as simple as:
result = operations ['sum'](input_value)](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/f893683d-d70a-429c-ae30-ce98a9dc5e96/b1045d0b-98bc-4ce0-96d4-ac58fbfc1f75/t2a8iqo_thumbnail.png)
