One way to shorten this could be like the following:
def create_movie(movie_title, genre, rating):
if not movie_title or not genre or not rating:
return None
return {
"title": movie_title,
"genre": genre,
"rating": rating
}I would be okay with this since all we are doing is creating a dictionary representation of a movie and then return it.

I see that you took into consideration that user_data was a mutable data type and decided to make a copy of the structure to avoid modifications of the original. I love that you are thinking about things like and applying your learnings from class! In this case, its actually fine to modify the original user_data since they ask you too in the requirements. Since the updated structure is returned and that return value is what is tested all your tests pass. If we were to test against the original user_data it would not.

So now that we have talked about Big O analysis, we know that .remove has a time complexity of O(n) since it needs to look through every element in a list to find the sought after value. Right now, this loop has an outer loop of O(n) and you when you find the movie to remove you have another O(n) operation. How could we circumvent using remove? (Hint: Think about list comprehension or pop method
Also in this implementation, we will only use remove once, but in other filtering problems we might have to do this for multiple elements so it doesn't hurt to get in the habit now.

Do we need to keep count of the number of movies a user has watched or can we just use a built in function provided to us by python instead in this function? 👀

How could we use the .get method so that we could condense this to a single line? 👀

Love the flattening of your data structures so you can simplify your loops! Also what if we just added the title of movies to friends_watched instead of the whole movie?

Since friends_watched is a list, this line has a time complexity of O(n) (n being the number of movies in a list). What other structure could we use in order to circumvent the linear time complexity and get a constant one?

Omg, list comprehension! Love to see her! 😍

Would it be more declarative to say:
if movie["genre"] == user_freq_genre This more directly communicates that you are only adding movies that match the genre of a user's favorite genre

What if we did assert len(genre_recommendations) == []? This more readily declares that the genre_recommendations should be an empty list. Also for testing, if someone returned, say an empty string, this test would technically pass.

So, this assert statement here is checking if the entire list of watched movies is a single element inside of friends_unique_movies. How could we change this to check if the individual movies are inside of friends_unique_watched?
| # raise Exception("Test needs to be completed.") | ||
| # ******************************************************************************************* | ||

| assert updated_data["watched"][0]["title"] == MOVIE_TITLE_1 |
| janes_data = { | ||
| "watchlist": [FANTASY_1], | ||
| "watched": [FANTASY_2, movie_to_watch] | ||
| } | ||
| assert updated_data == janes_data |

Only suggestion I have here is to change name to something else like expected. Also see my note below about making copies of the originals.
