Assignment 6(Based on Dictionary):
DICTIONARY METHODS
clear() Removes all the elements from the dictionary
copy() Returns a copy of the dictionary
Returns a dictionary with the specified keys and
fromkeys() values
get() Returns the value of the specified key
Returns a list containing a tuple for each key
items() value pair
keys() Returns a list containing the dictionary's keys
pop() Removes the element with the specified key
popitem() Removes the last inserted key-value pair
Returns the value of the specified key. If the
key does not exist: insert the key, with the
setdefault() specified value
Updates the dictionary with the specified key-
update() value pairs
values() Returns a list of all the values in the dictionary
clear() Removes all the elements from the dictionary
copy() Returns a copy of the dictionary
Returns a dictionary with the specified keys and
fromkeys() values
1. Python Program to Check if a Given Key Exists in a Dictionary or Not if
present print its value in the dictionary.
railfall={‘SUNDAY’:3.4,’MONDAY’:5.6,’TUESDAY’:4.2,’WEDNESDAY’:1.0,’TH
URSDAY’:0.0,’FRIDAY’:2.5,’SATURDAY’:3.1}
rainfall={'SUNDAY':3.4,'MONDAY':5.2,'TUESDAY':1.7,'WEDN
ESDAY':0.0,'THURSDAY':0.15,'FRIDAY':4.0,'SATURDAY':1.2}
key=str(input("Enter key to check:"))
if key in rainfall.keys():
print("Key is present and value of the key is:")
print(rainfall[key])
else:
print("Key isn't present!")
2. Write a program to remove the given key from a dictionary
railfall={‘SUNDAY’:3.4,’MONDAY’:5.6,’TUESDAY’:4.2,’WEDNESDAY’:1.0,’TH
URSDAY’:0.0,’FRIDAY’:2.5,’SATURDAY’:3.1}
rainfall={'SUNDAY':3.4,'MONDAY':5.2,'TUESDAY':1.7,'WEDN
ESDAY':0.0,'THURSDAY':0.15,'FRIDAY':4.0,'SATURDAY':1.2}
print("Initial dictionary")
print(rainfall)
key=input("Enter the key to delete:")
if key in rainfall:
del rainfall[key]
else:
print("Key not found!")
print("Updated dictionary")
print(rainfall)
3. Write a program to input two list from user and form a dictionary using
its elements as key and values.
keys=[]
values=[]
n=int(input("Enter number of elements for dictionary:"))
print("For keys:")
for x in range(0,n):
element=input("Enter element" + str(x+1) + ":")
keys.append(element)
print("For values:")
for x in range(0,n):
element=input("Enter element" + str(x+1) + ":")
values.append(element)
d=dict(zip(keys,values))
print("The dictionary is:")
print(d)
4. Write a program to convert a number entered by the user into its corresponding number in
words. For example, if the input is 876 then the output should be 'Eight Seven Six'.
(Hint. use dictionary for keys 0-9 and their values as equivalent words.)
Solution
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
d = {0 : "Zero" , 1 : "One" , 2 : "Two" , 3 : "Three" , 4 : "Four" , 5 : "Five" , 6 : "Six" , 7 : "Seven"
, 8 : "Eight" , 9 : "Nine"}
digit = 0
str = ""
while num > 0:
digit = num % 10
num = num // 10
str = d[digit] + " " + str
print(str)
5. Create a dictionary whose keys are month names and whose values are the number of
days in the corresponding months.
(a) Ask the user to enter a month name and use the dictionary to tell how many days are in
the month.
(b) Print out all of the keys in alphabetical order.
(c) Print out all of the months with 31 days.
(d) Print out the (key-value) pairs sorted by the number of days in each month.
Solution
days_in_months = {
"january":31,
"february":28,
"march":31,
"april":30,
"may":31,
"june":30,
"july":31,
"august":31,
"september":30,
"october":31,
"november":30,
"december":31
m = input("Enter name of month: ")
if m not in days_in_months:
print("Please enter the correct month")
else:
print("There are", days_in_months[m], "days in", m)
print("Months in alphabetical order are:", sorted(days_in_months))
print("Months with 31 days:", end=" ")
for i in days_in_months:
if days_in_months[i] == 31:
print(i, end=" ")
day_month_lst = []
for i in days_in_months:
day_month_lst.append([days_in_months[i], i])
day_month_lst.sort()
month_day_lst =[]
for i in day_month_lst:
month_day_lst.append([i[1], i[0]])
sorted_days_in_months = dict(month_day_lst)
print()
print("Months sorted by days:", sorted_days_in_months)
