Answer 1

Python

A list comprehension looks like this in its most basic form:
my_list = [x for x in range(1, 6)]
This creates a list from an iterable (which is a range of numbers in this case).
You can do comprehension for tuple, set or dict by changing the brackets type.
Python will know this is a dict because I used {} curly braces and two values separated by : colon.
To explain the key: ord function converts a character to its ASCII code ('a' = 65) then I add n from the looped range (0 to 25) and convert the number back to char with the chr function.
The corresponding dict value is n+1.

Answer 2

You don't need to list each letter one by one. Just use a dict comprehension like this to get the same result.
w = {chr(n+ord('a')): n+1 for n in range(26)}

Edit: fixed the order of key/value

Answer 3

Thanks, that makes much more sense now

Answer 4

Wait, you can do that?

Answer 5

I'm not completely sure I understand that code, could you explain it please?
