Dictionary: New Syllabus 2022-23

The document discusses dictionaries in Python. It defines dictionaries as an unordered collection of items where each item consists of a key-value pair. Keys must be unique and immutable, while values can be mutable. It describes how to create, access, iterate through, update, and delete dictionary elements using various methods. Built-in functions like len(), str(), and type() are also discussed along with common dictionary methods like clear(), copy(), items(), keys(), setdefault(), and update(). Sample code is provided to demonstrate the usage.

Dictionary
Creating A Dictionary
It is enclosed in curly braces {} and each item is separated from other
item by a comma(,). Within each item, key and value are separated by a
colon (:).Passing value in dictionary at declaration is dictionary
initialization.
e.g.
dict = {‘Subject': ‘Informatic Practices', 'Class': ‘11'}

Accessing List Item


dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
print(dict)
print ("Subject : ", dict['Subject'])
print ("Class : ", dict.get('Class'))
OUTPUT
{'Class': '11', 'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'}
('Subject : ', 'Informatics Practices')
('Class : ', 11)

Dictionary
Iterating / Traversing through A Dictionary
Following example will show how dictionary items can be accessed
through loop.
e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
for i in dict:
print(dict[i])
OUTPUT
11
Informatics Practices
Updating/Manipulating Dictionary Elements
We can change the individual element of dictionary.
e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
dict['Subject']='computer science'
print(dict)
OUTPUT
{'Class': 11, 'Subject': 'computer science'}

Deleting Dictionary Elements
del, pop() and clear() statement are used to
remove elements from the dictionary.
del e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
print('before del', dict)
del dict['Class'] # delete single element
print('after item delete', dict)
del dict #delete whole dictionary
print('after dictionary delete', dict)

Output
('before del', {'Class': 11, 'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after item delete', {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after dictionary delete', <type 'dict'>)

Dictionary
pop() method is used to remove a particular item
in a dictionary. clear() method is used to remove
all elements from the dictionary.
e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
print('before del', dict)
dict.pop('Class')
print('after item delete', dict)
dict.clear()
print('after clear', dict)

Output
('before del', {'Class': 11, 'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after item delete', {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after clear', {})
