Python Dictionary Operations
Date: 19/09/2019
In this tutorial, I going to explain the basics of python dictionary operations and methods.
INTRODUCTION
Python dictionary is an unordered collection of items and also it contains key-value pairs and enclosed by curly-braces { }.
Each key-value pair in a python dictionary is separated by a colon(:) and each key is separated by a ‘comma’.
Most importantly python dictionary, keys should not be repeated and values can be any datatype.
Create an empty dictionary:
First of all we can create the dictionary using the variable name for that we can use empty curly-braces. It will create an empty dictionary in python.
Create a dictionary with the element:
we can add items inside curly braces {} and separated by a comma for creating a dictionary with element.
Access elements from the dictionary:
We can access the dictionary elements using the key.
Update dictionary value:
We can add new items into the dictionary and also we can update the existing item.
Add element into the dictionary:
We can add the new element into the existing dictionary with the new key-value pair.
Remove element from the dictionary:
We can remove the element from the dictionary using the pop() method, for that, we can give key name within the pop method.
Remove all item from the dictionary:
We can use clear() method to remove all element from the dictionary. It will display the empty dictionary.
Delete dictionary:
We can use the del method to delete the full dictionary.
