Dictionaries in Python

The document discusses various operations that can be performed on dictionaries in Python. It provides examples of how to iterate over dictionaries using for loops, remove keys from dictionaries, sort dictionaries by key, find the maximum and minimum value of dictionaries, concatenate multiple dictionaries into a new dictionary, and check if a dictionary contains a specific key. It also provides sample questions at the end related to adding/removing keys from dictionaries, merging dictionaries, summing/multiplying dictionary items, removing duplicates from dictionaries, and generating combinations of letters from dictionary keys and values.

Dictionaries

The syntax provides useful type information. The square brackets indicate that its a
list. The parenthesis indicate that the elements in the list are tuples.
Iterate over Python dictionaries using for loops

d={'red':1,'green':2,'blue':3}
for k, v in d.items():
print(k,'corresponds to', v)

OUTPUT:

blue corresponds to 3
green corresponds to 2
red corresponds to 1

Remove a key from a Python dictionary

myDict = {'a':1,'b':2,'c':3,'d':4}
print(myDict)
if 'a' in myDict:
del myDict['a']
print(myDict)
OUTPUT:

{'d': 4, 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}


{'d': 4, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

Sort a Python dictionary by key

d = {'red': 1,
'green': 2,
'black: 3,
'white': 4}

for key in sorted(d):


print(key, d[key])

OUTPUT:

Black 3
Green 2
Red 1
white 4
Find the maximum and minimum value of a Python dictionary

my_dict = {'x':500, 'y':5874, 'z': 560}

key_max = max(my_dict.keys())
key_min = min(my_dict.keys())
Concatenate two Python dictionaries into a new one

dic1={1:10, 2:20}
dic2={3:30, 4:40}
dic3={5:50,6:60}
dic4 = {}
for d in (dic1, dic2, dic3):
dic4.update(d)
print(dic4)

OUTPUT:

{1: 10, 2: 20, 3: 30, 4: 40, 5: 50, 6: 60}

Test whether a Python dictionary contains a specific key


fruits = {}
fruits["apple"] = 1
fruits["mango"] = 2
fruits["banana"] = 4
if "mango" in fruits:
print("Has mango")
else:
print("No mango")

if "orange" in fruits:
print("Has orange")
else:
print("No orange")

OUTPUT:

Has mango
No orange
