Class XI (As Per CBSE Board) : Informatics Practices

The document discusses dictionaries in Python. It defines a dictionary as an unordered collection of key-value pairs where keys must be unique. It describes how to create, access, iterate through, update, and delete dictionary elements. It also lists some built-in dictionary functions like len() and type() as well as methods like clear(), copy(), items(), keys(), setdefault(), update(), and values(). Finally, it provides two example questions involving dictionaries.

It is an unordered collection of items where each


item consist of a key and a value.
It is mutable (can modify its contents ) but Key must
be unique and immutable.

Creating A Dictionary
It is enclosed in curly braces {} and each item is separated from other item by a
comma(,). Within each item, key and value are separated by a colon (:).Passing
value in dictionary at declaration is dictionary initialization.
e.g.
dict = {‘Subject': ‘Informatic Practices', 'Class': ‘11'}

Accessing List Item


dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
print(dict)
print ("Subject : ", dict['Subject'])
print ("Class : ", dict.get('Class'))
OUTPUT
{'Class': '11', 'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'}
('Subject : ', 'Informatics Practices')
('Class : ', 11)

Dictionary
Iterating / Traversing through A Dictionary
Following example will show how dictionary items can be accessed through loop.
e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
for i in dict:
print(dict[i])
OUTPUT
11
Informatics Practices
Updating/Manipulating Dictionary Elements
We can change the individual element of dictionary.
e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
dict['Subject']='computer science'
print(dict)
OUTPUT
{'Class': 11, 'Subject': 'computer science'}

Deleting Dictionary Elements


del, pop() and clear() statement are used to remove
elements from the dictionary.
del e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
print('before del', dict)
del dict['Class'] # delete single element
print('after item delete', dict)
del dict #delete whole dictionary
print('after dictionary delete', dict)

Output
('before del', {'Class': 11, 'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after item delete', {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after dictionary delete', <type 'dict'>)

pop() method is used to remove a particular item in a


dictionary. clear() method is used to remove all
elements from the dictionary.
e.g.
dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
print('before del', dict)
dict.pop('Class')
print('after item delete', dict)
dict.clear()
print('after clear', dict)

Output
('before del', {'Class': 11, 'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after item delete', {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after clear', {})
