Example 1: python get dictionary keys
# To get all the keys of a dictionary use 'keys()'
newdict = {1:0, 2:0, 3:0}
newdict.keys()
# Output:
# dict_keys([1, 2, 3])
Example 2: how to get the value of key in python
print(dict["key"])
Example 3: python dictionary access value by key
# Create a list of dictionary
datadict = [{'Name': 'John', 'Age': 38, 'City': 'Boston'},
{'Name': 'Sara', 'Age': 47, 'City': 'Charlotte'},
{'Name': 'Peter', 'Age': 63, 'City': 'London'},
{'Name': 'Cecilia', 'Age': 28, 'City': 'Memphis'}]
# Build a function to access to list of dictionary
def getDictVal(listofdic, name, retrieve):
for item in listofdic:
if item.get('Name')==name:
return item.get(retrieve)
# Use the 'getDictVal' to read the data item
getDictVal(datadict, 'Sara', 'City') # Return 'Charlotte'
# -------------------
# to convert a dataframe to data dictionary
df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ['John', 'Sara','Peter','Cecilia'],
'Age': [38, 47,63,28],
'City':['Boston', 'Charlotte','London','Memphis']})
datadict = df.to_dict('records')
Example 4: python dict access
my_dict = {'name':'Jack', 'age': 26}
my_dict['name']
Example 5: how to get element from dictionary python
#!/usr/bin/python
dict = {'Name': 'Zara', 'Age': 7, 'Class': 'First'}
dict['Age'] = 8; # update existing entry
dict['School'] = "DPS School"; # Add new entry
print "dict['Age']: ", dict['Age']
print "dict['School']: ", dict['School']
Example 6: accessing values in dictionary python
dict = {'Name': 'Zara', 'Age': 7, 'Class': 'First'}
print(dict['Name']) # Zara
print(dict['Age']) # 7
