calling dictionary python code example

Example 1: python dictionary

#Creating dictionaries
dict1 = {'color': 'blue', 'shape': 'square', 'volume':40}
dict2 = {'color': 'red', 'edges': 4, 'perimeter':15}

#Creating new pairs and updating old ones
dict1['area'] = 25 #{'color': 'blue', 'shape': 'square', 'volume': 40, 'area': 25}
dict2['perimeter'] = 20 #{'color': 'red', 'edges': 4, 'perimeter': 20}

#Accessing values through keys
print(dict1['shape'])

#You can also use get, which doesn't cause an exception when the key is not found
dict1.get('false_key') #returns None
dict1.get('false_key', "key not found") #returns the custom message that you wrote 

#Deleting pairs
dict1.pop('volume')

#Merging two dictionaries
dict1.update(dict2) #if a key exists in both, it takes the value of the second dict
dict1 #{'color': 'red', 'shape': 'square', 'area': 25, 'edges': 4, 'perimeter': 20}

#Getting only the values, keys or both (can be used in loops)
dict1.values() #dict_values(['red', 'square', 25, 4, 20])
dict1.keys() #dict_keys(['color', 'shape', 'area', 'edges', 'perimeter'])
dict1.items() 
#dict_items([('color', 'red'), ('shape', 'square'), ('area', 25), ('edges', 4), ('perimeter', 20)])

thisdict = {
	"brand": "Ford",

 	"year": 1964
}

#Assigning a value
thisdict["year"] = 2018

Example 3: python call a function from a dictionary

def one():
     print('one hahah')

def two():
    print('two hahah')

def the_count():
    print('I am the count who likes to count')


dictionary_name = {
    'one': one, 'second_function': two, 'tree_yeah_i_know': the_count
}


dictionary_name['one']()

dictionary_name['second_function']()

dictionary_name['tree_yeah_i_know']()
