python dicts 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: python make a dictionary

#title			: Dictionary Example
#author         : Joyiscold
#date           : 2020-02-01
#====================================================

thisdict = {
	"brand": "Ford",
 	"model": "Mustang",
 	"year": 1964
}

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

Example 3: python dictionary

#author         :Josh Cogburn
#date           :20191127
#github         :https://github.com/josh-cogburn
#====================================================

thisdict = {
	"brand": "Ford",
 	"model": "Mustang",
 	"year": 1964
}

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

Example 4: python dict

# decleration
my_dict = {
  'spam': 'eggs',
  'foo': 4,
  100: 'bar',
  2: 0.5
}

# access single values from the dictionary
print(my_dict['spam']) # eggs
print(my_dict['foo']) # 4
print(my_dict[100]) # bar
print(my_dict[2]) # 0.5

# iterate over the dictionary
for key, value in my_dict.items():
  print(key, value)

# get length of the dictionary
print(len(my_dict)) # 4

# modify the dictionary
my_dict['baz'] = 'qux' # adds a pair
my_dict['baz'] = 'quxx' # also updates it
del my_dict['spam'] # removes a pair

# other methods
print(my_dict.copy()) # Returns a copy of the dictionary
print(my_dict.fromkeys('added', 100)) # Returns a dictionary with the specified keys and their values
print(my_dict.get('foo')) # Returns the value of the specified key
print(my_dict.items()) # Returns a list containing a tuple for each key value pair
print(my_dict.keys()) # Returns a list containing the dictionaries keys
print(my_dict.values()) # Returns a list of all the values in the dictionary
my_dict.setdefault('a', 'b') # Returns the value of the specified key. If the key does not exist: insert the key, with the specified value
my_dict.pop('foo') # Removes the element with the specified key
my_dict.popitem() # Removes the last inserted key-value pair
my_dict.update({'baz': 'val'}) # Updates the dictionary with the specified key-value pairs
my_dict.clear() # Removes all the elements from the dictionary

Example 5: dict python

a = {'a': 123, 'b': 'test'}

Example 6: dicts python

thisdict =	{
  "brand": "Ford",
  "model": "Mustang",
  "year": 1964
}
x = thisdict["model"]
print(x)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mustang
