how do i reference a dict key value code example
Example 1: dictionary in python
# Dictionaries in Python are used to store set of data like Key: Value pair
# the syntax of a dictionary in Python is very simple we use {} inside that
# we define {Key: Value}, to separate multiple values we use','
programming_dictionary = {
"Bug": "An error in a program that prevents the program from running as expected.",
"Function": "A piece of code that you can easily call over and over again.",
"Loop": "The action of doing sommething again and again",
}
# to retrieve the values from a dictionary we use the Key name as an Index
# retrieving the Function's definition
print(programming_dictionary["Function"]) # this will print the definition of Function
# if you wanna print all the entries in the dictionary you can do that by for loop
for key in programming_dictionary:
print(programming_dictionary[key]) # prints all entries
# adding items to a dictionary
# the following code will add another entry to the dictionary called Variable
programming_dictionary["Variable"] = "The label to store some sort of data"
print(programming_dictionary["Variable"])
# editing the values of a key
# editing the value of variable
programming_dictionary["Variable"] = "Variables are nothing but reserved memory locations to store values. This means that when you create a variableyou reserve some space in memory"
