dictionary key value python code example

Example 1: 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'

Example 2: for key value in dict python

a_dict = {"color": "blue", "fruit": "apple", "pet": "dog"}
for key in a_dict:
  print(key, '->', a_dict[key])

# Output:
# color -> blue
# fruit -> apple
# pet -> dog
