concat dict python code example

Example 1: python merge dictionaries

dict1 = {'color': 'blue', 'shape': 'square'}
dict2 = {'color': 'red', 'edges': 4}

dict1.update(dict2) #if a key exists in both, it takes the value of the second dict
# dict1 = {'color': 'red', 'shape': 'square', 'edges': 4}
# dict2 is left unchanged

Example 2: concatenate two dictionnaries python

d1.update(d2)

Example 3: python concatenate dictionaries

# list_of_dictionaries contains a generic number of dictionaries
# having the same type of keys (str, int etc.) and type of values
global_dict = {}

for single_dict in list_of_dictionaries:
    global_dict.update(single_dict)

Example 4: concat dicts python

d1={1:2,3:4}; d2={5:6,7:9}; d3={10:8,13:22}
d4 = dict(d1, **d2); d4.update(d3)
