Python Dictionary

This document defines and explains Python dictionaries. It notes that dictionaries are mutable containers that store key-value pairs, with keys separated from values by colons within curly braces. It describes how to access values using keys in square brackets, update values and add new key-value pairs, and delete individual elements or clear the entire dictionary using the del statement.

PYTHON DICTIONARY
Definition : A dictionary is mutable and container type can store any
number of python objects.
 Python dictionaries are also known
as associative arrays or hash (#) tables.

Dictionaries consists of pairs (items) of keys and their corresponding values.

The general syntax of a dictionary is as follows:


dict= {‘A’: ‘215’, ‘B’: ‘412’, ‘C’: ‘125’}
Important point of dictionary
Each key is separated from its value by a colon (:).

The items are separated by commas, and the whole thing is enclosed
in curly braces { }.

An empty dictionary without any items is written with just two curly
braces, like this { }.

The values of a dictionary can be of any type, but the keys must be an
mutable data type such as strings, numbers, or tuples.
Accessing values in dictionary:
To access dictionary elements, we use square brackets [ ] along
with the key to obtain its value.
for example,

dict= {‘Name’: ‘Sagar’, ‘Age’: ‘18’, ‘Class’: ‘BCA’}


Print
Updating or adding in dictionary:
We can update a dictionary by adding a new entry or item (i.e., a key-
value pair).
Modifying an existing entry, or deleting an existing entry as shown
below in the simple example
dict={‘Name’: ‘Sagar’, ‘Age’: ‘18’, ‘Class’: ‘BCA’}

dict=[‘Age’]=19; # update existing entry or item


dict=[School]=SXC # Add new entry or item
Deletion in dictionary:
We can either remove or delete individual dictionary elements or
clear the entire contents of a dictionary.
To delete or remove in dictionary; we use the del statement.
for example,

dict= {‘Name’: ‘Sagar’, ‘Age’: ‘18’, ‘Class’: ‘BCA’}


del dict[Name]; # remove entry with key ‘Name’
dict.clear0; # remove all entries in dict
del dict; # delete entire dictionary
