1. dict.

clear()
Removes all items from the dictionary.
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
d.clear()
print(d) # Output: {}

2. dict.copy()
Returns a shallow copy of the dictionary.
d1 = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
d2 = d1.copy()
print(d2) # Output: {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

3. dict.fromkeys(iterable, value=None)
Creates a new dictionary with keys from the iterable and all values set to value.
keys = ['a', 'b', 'c']
d = dict.fromkeys(keys, 0)
print(d) # Output: {'a': 0, 'b': 0, 'c': 0}

4. dict.get(key, default=None)
Returns the value for key if present, else returns default.
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
print(d.get('a')) # Output: 1
print(d.get('c', 'NA')) # Output: NA
5. dict.items()
Returns a view of key-value pairs.
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
print(list(d.items())) # Output: [('a', 1), ('b', 2)]

6. dict.keys()
Returns a view of keys.
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
print(list(d.keys())) # Output: ['a', 'b']

7. dict.values()
Returns a view of values.
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
print(list(d.values())) # Output: [1, 2]

8. dict.pop(key, default)
Removes the specified key and returns its value. Returns default if key not found.
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
print(d.pop('a')) # Output: 1
print(d) # Output: {'b': 2}
print(d.pop('x', 0)) # Output: 0
9. dict.popitem()
Removes and returns the last inserted key-value pair (in Python 3.7+).
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
print(d.popitem()) # Output: ('b', 2)
print(d) # Output: {'a': 1}

10. dict.setdefault(key, default=None)


Returns the value of the key if it exists, otherwise inserts the key with default value.
d = {'a': 1}
print(d.setdefault('a', 0)) # Output: 1
print(d.setdefault('b', 2)) # Output: 2
print(d) # Output: {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

11. dict.update(other_dict_or_iterable)
Updates the dictionary with key-value pairs from another dictionary or iterable.
d = {'a': 1}
d.update({'b': 2, 'c': 3})
print(d) # Output: {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

12. dict.values()
Returns all values in the dictionary.
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
print(list(d.values())) # Output: [1, 2]
