How can I make a function called build() have one string input and it returns a dictionary?

Question

I have a project that requires me to make a function that takes a string input and return a dictionary.
The string will be consist of a name and a phone number, separated by a comma.

Example of the input: Joe,123-5432 Joe Example of the output: 123-5432

Answer 1

def take_input(x):
   dict={}
   mylist=x.split(',',maxsplit=2)
   dict[mylist[0]]=mylist[1]
   #dict['name']=mylist[0]
   #dict['phone']=mylist[1] output={'name:'Jeo','phone':'123-5432'
   return dict
x=' Joe,123-5432'
print(take_input(x))  

output=
{' Joe': '123-5432'}

Answer 2

Please take a look at this:

# Function to split a user provided string and delimiter
# And convert it in to a dictionary

def str_to_dict(_user_input_string, _user_provided_delimiter):
    return {_user_input_string.split(_user_provided_delimiter)[0]: _user_input_string.split(_user_provided_delimiter)[-1]}


x = str_to_dict('Joe,123-5432', ',')
print(x, type(x))

#Output
{'Joe': '123-5432'} <class 'dict'>
