python dictionary in code example

Example 1: dictionary in python

tel = {'jack': 4098, 'sape': 4139}
tel['guido'] = 4127
print(tel)
# OUTPUT {'jack': 4098, 'sape': 4139, 'guido': 4127}
print(tel['jack'])
# OUTPUT 4098
del tel['sape']
tel['irv'] = 4127
print(tel)
# OUTPUT {'jack': 4098, 'guido': 4127, 'irv': 4127}
print(list(tel))
# OUTPUT ['jack', 'guido', 'irv']
print(sorted(tel))
# OUTPUT ['guido', 'irv', 'jack']
print('guido' in tel)
# OUTPUT True
print('jack' not in tel)
# OUTPUT False

Example 2: 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 3: dictionary in python

# Dictionaries in Python

ages = {"John": 43, "Bob": 24, "Ruth": 76} # Marked by { at beginning and a } at end

# ^^^ Has sets of keys and values, like the 'John' and 43 set. These two values must be seperated by a colon

# ^^^ Sets of values seperated by commas.
