Dictionary in Python
Dictionaries are used to store data values in key:value pairs
Apna
They are unordered, mutable(changeable) & don’t allow duplicate keys
College
“key” : value
dict[”name”], dict[”cgpa”],
dict[”marks”] dict[”key”] = “value”
#to assign or add
new
Dictionary in Python
Nested Dictionaries
Apna
College
student[”score”][”math”]
Dictionary Methods
myDict.keys( ) #returns all keys
Apna
myDict.values( ) #returns all values
College
myDict.items( ) #returns all (key, val) pairs as tuples
myDict.get( “key““ ) #returns the key according to value
myDict.update( newDict ) #inserts the specified items to the dictionary
Set in Python
Set is the collection of the unordered items.
Apna
Each element in the set must be unique & immutable.
College
nums = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
set2 = { 1, 2, 2, 2 }
#repeated elements stored only once, so it resolved to {1, 2}
null_set = set( ) #empty set syntax
Set Methods
set.add( el ) #adds an element
Apna
set.remove( el ) #removes the
College
elem an set.clear( ) #empties the
set
set.pop( ) #removes a random value
Set Methods
set.union( set2 ) #combines both set values & returns new
Apna
set.intersection( set2 ) #combines common values & returns new
College
Let‘s Practice
Store following word meanings in a python
Apna
dictionary : table : “a piece of furniture”, “list of facts
& figures” cat : “a small animal”
College
You are given a list of subjects for students. Assume one classroom is
required for 1 subject. How many classrooms are needed by all students.
”python”, “java”, “C++”, “python”, “javascript”,
“java”, “python”, “java”, “C++”, “C”
Let‘s Practice
WAP to enter marks of 3 subjects from the user and store them in a
dictionary. Start with an empty dictionary & add one by one. Use subject name
as key & marks as value.

College
Figure out a way to store 9 & 9.0 as separate values in
the set. (You can take help of built-in data types)
