Lists And

Dictionaries
LEARNING OUTCOMES
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After studying this lesson, students
will be able to:

 Understand the need of dictionaries;


Solve problems by using dictionaries;
Get clear idea about dictionaries functions;
and
 Understand the difference between list and
dictionary.
WHAT IS DICTIONARY?
WHAT IS DICTIONARY?

A dictionary is like a list, but more in


general. In a list, index value is an integer, while
in a dictionary index value can be any other data
type and are called keys. The key will be used as
a string as it is easy to recall. A dictionary is an
extremely useful data storage construct for
storing and retrieving all key value pairs, where
each element is accessed (or indexed) by a
unique key. However, dictionary keys are not in
sequences and hence maintain no left-to right
order.
KEY VALYE PAIR

We can refer to a dictionary as a


mapping between a set of indices (which
are called keys) and a set of values. Each
key maps a value. The association of a key
and a value is called a key-value pair.
Syntax:
my_dict = {'key1': 'value1','key2':
'value2','key3': 'value3'…'keyn': 'valuen'}
DICTIONARIES

Curley brackets are used to represent a


dictionary.

Each pair in the dictionary is represented


by a key and value separated by a colon.

Multiple pairs are separated by vcomas


DICTIONARIES

A dictionary is an un­ordered collection of key­


value pairs.

A dictionary has a length, specifically the numb


er of key­value pairs.

A dictionary provides fast look up by key.

The keys must be immutable object types.

CREATING A DICTIONARY – dict()
CREATING DICTIONARAY – dict()

The function dict ( ) is used to create a


new dictionary with no items. This function is
called built-in function. We can also create
dictionary using {}.
CREATING DICTIONARAY – Example

Dictionary Method Meaning


dict.clear() Removes all the elements of the
dictionary
dict.copy() Returns (shallow)copy of
dictionary.
dict.get(key, for key key, returns value or
default=None) default if key not in dictionary
(note that default's default is
None)

dict.items() returns a list of dict's (key, value)


tuple pairs
DICTIONARAY – BUILT IN METHODS

Dictionary Method Meaning


dict.keys() returns list of dictionary dict's
keys
dict.setdefault key, similar to get(), but will set
default=None dict[key]=default if key is not
already in dict
dict.update(dict2) adds dictionary dict2's key-values
pairs to dict
dict.values() returns list of dictionary dict's
values
DICTIONARAY – BUILT IN METHODS

Dictionary Method Meaning


dict.pop() returns list of dictionary dict's
keys
dict.popitem() similar to get(), but will set
dict[key]=default if key is not
already in dict
