how to create a dictionary of dictionaries in 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: Nested dictionary Python

IDs = ['emp1','emp2','emp3']

EmpInfo = [{'name': 'Bob', 'job': 'Mgr'},
           {'name': 'Kim', 'job': 'Dev'},
           {'name': 'Sam', 'job': 'Dev'}]

D = dict(zip(IDs, EmpInfo))

print(D)
# Prints {'emp1': {'name': 'Bob', 'job': 'Mgr'},
#         'emp2': {'name': 'Kim', 'job': 'Dev'},
#         'emp3': {'name': 'Sam', 'job': 'Dev'}}

Example 3: Nested dictionary Python

D = {'emp1': {'name': 'Bob', 'job': 'Mgr'},
     'emp2': {'name': 'Kim', 'job': 'Dev'},
     'emp3': {'name': 'Sam', 'job': 'Dev'}}
