Write a method named IsSubDictionary
that accepts two dictionaries from strings to strings as its parameters and returns true
if every key in the first map is also contained in the second map and maps to the same value in the second map.
For example, given the dictionaries below,
dict1
is a sub-map of
dict2
, so the call of
IsSubDictionary(dict1, dict2)
would return
true
.
The order of the parameters does matter, so the call of
IsSubDictionary(dict2, dict1)
would return
false
.
But dict3
is not a sub-map of dict2
because the key "Alisha"
is not in dict2
and also because the key "Smith"
does not map to the same value as it does in dict2
; therefore the call of IsSubDictionary(dict3, dict2)
would return false
.
The empty dictionary is considered to be a sub-map of every map, so the call of IsSubDictionary(dict4, dict1)
would return true
.
dict1: {{"Smith", "949-0504"}, {"Marty", "206-9024"}}
dict2: {{"Marty", "206-9024"}, {"Hawking", "123-4567"}, {"Smith", "949-0504"}, {"Newton", "123-4567"}}
dict3: {{"Alisha", "321-7654"}, {"Hawking", "123-4567"}, {"Smith", "888-8888"}}
dict4: {}
