Code examples
python dict
# decleration
my_dict = {
'spam': 'eggs',
'foo': 4,
100: 'bar',
2: 0.5
}
# access single values from the dictionary
print(my_dict['spam']) # eggs
print(my_dict['foo']) # 4
print(my_dict[100]) # bar
print(my_dict[2]) # 0.5
# iterate over the dictionary
for key, value in my_dict.items():
print(key, value)
# get length of the dictionary
print(len(my_dict)) # 4
# modify the dictionary
my_dict['baz'] = 'qux' # adds a pair
my_dict['baz'] = 'quxx' # also updates it
del my_dict['spam'] # removes a pair
# other methods
print(my_dict.copy()) # Returns a copy of the dictionary
print(my_dict.fromkeys('added', 100)) # Returns a dictionary with the specified keys and their values
print(my_dict.get('foo')) # Returns the value of the specified key
print(my_dict.items()) # Returns a list containing a tuple for each key value pair
print(my_dict.keys()) # Returns a list containing the dictionaries keys
print(my_dict.values()) # Returns a list of all the values in the dictionary
my_dict.setdefault('a', 'b') # Returns the value of the specified key. If the key does not exist: insert the key, with the specified value
my_dict.pop('foo') # Removes the element with the specified key
my_dict.popitem() # Removes the last inserted key-value pair
my_dict.update({'baz': 'val'}) # Updates the dictionary with the specified key-value pairs
my_dict.clear() # Removes all the elements from the dictionarydictionary in python
thisdictionary = {'key':'value','key1':'value1'}
print(thisdictionary['key'])how to use dictionaries in python
student_data = {
"name":"inderpaal",
"age":21,
"course":['Bsc', 'Computer Science']
}
#the keys are the left hand side and the values are the right hand side
#to print data you do print(name_of_dictionary['key_name'])
print(student_data['name']) # will print 'inderpaal'
print(student_data['age']) # will print 21
print(student_data['course'])[0]
#this will print 'Bsc' since that field is an array and array[0] is 'Bsc'how to create a dictionary in python
thisdict = {
"key1" : "value1"
"key2" : "value2"
"key3" : "value3"
"key4" : "value4"
