Create a new dictionary in Python

>>> #Empty dictionary

>>> new_dict = dict()

>>> new_dict = {}

>>> print(new_dict)

{}

>>> #Dictionary with key-vlaue

>>> color = {"col1" : "Red", "col2" : "Green", "col3" : "Orange" }

>>> color

{'col2': 'Green', 'col3': 'Orange', 'col1': 'Red'}

>>>

Get value by key in Python dictionary


>>> #Declaring a dictionary

>>> dict = {1:20.5, 2:3.03, 3:23.22, 4:33.12}

>>> #Access value using key

>>> dict[1]

20.5

>>> dict[3]

23.22

>>> #Accessing value using get() method

>>> dict.get(1)

20.5

>>> dict.get(3)

23.22

>>>
Add key/value to a dictionary in Python
>>> #Declaring a dictionary with a single element

>>> dic = {'pdy1':'DICTIONARY'}

>>>print(dic)

{'pdy1': 'DICTIONARY'}

>>> dic['pdy2'] = 'STRING'

>>> print(dic)

{'pdy1': 'DICTIONARY', 'pdy2': 'STRING'}

>>>

>>> #Using update() method to add key-values pairs in to dictionary

>>> d = {0:10, 1:20}

>>> print(d)

{0: 10, 1: 20}

>>> d.update({2:30})

>>> print(d)

{0: 10, 1: 20, 2: 30}

>>>

Iterate over Python dictionaries using for loops

Code:
d = {'Red': 1, 'Green': 2, 'Blue': 3}

for color_key, value in d.items():

print(color_key, 'corresponds to ', d[color_key])

Output:
>>>
Green corresponds to 2
Red corresponds to 1
Blue corresponds to 3
>>>
Remove a key from a Python dictionary

Code:
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

Code:
color_dict = {'red':'#FF0000',

'green':'#008000',

'black':'#000000',

'white':'#FFFFFF'}

for key in sorted(color_dict):

print("%s: %s" % (key, color_dict[key]))

Output:
>>>
black: #000000
green: #008000
red: #FF0000
white: #FFFFFF
>>>
Find the maximum and minimum value of a Python dictionary
Code:
my_dict = {'x':500, 'y':5874, 'z': 560}

key_max = max(my_dict.keys(), key=(lambda k: my_dict[k]))

key_min = min(my_dict.keys(), key=(lambda k: my_dict[k]))

print('Maximum Value: ',my_dict[key_max])

print('Minimum Value: ',my_dict[key_min])

Output:
>>>
Maximum Value: 5874
Minimum Value: 500
>>>
Concatenate two Python dictionaries into a new one

Code:
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

Code:
fruits = {}
fruits["apple"] = 1

fruits["mango"] = 2

fruits["banana"] = 4

# Use in.

if "mango" in fruits:

print("Has mango")

else:

print("No mango")

# Use in on nonexistent key.

if "orange" in fruits:

print("Has orange")

else:

print("No orange")

Output
>>>
Has mango
No orange
>>>
Find the length of a Python dictionary

Code:
fruits = {"mango": 2, "orange": 6}

# Use len() function to get the length of the dictionary

print("Length:", len(fruits))

Output:
>>>
Length: 2
