3. Membership Operators ‘in’ and ‘not in’
4. Removing an item from Dictionary
 Common dictionary function and methods
What is Dictionary:
A python dictionary is a mapping of unique keys to values. It is a collection of key-value pairs. Dictionaries
are mutable which means they can be changed.
Python dictionary is an unordered collection of items where each item is a key-value pair.
List=[10,40,20,50,60,20]
d1= { ‘Input’:’Keyboard’,’Output’:’printer’,’Language’:’python’,’OS’:’Windows’ }
Creating a Dictionary:
Empty dictionary:
d={}
d=dict()
We can store int, float, string, list or tuple in dictionary as value of key.
Adding an item in Dictionary:
D={}
D[‘input’]=’Keyboard’
D[‘Output’]=’Printer’
D[‘Language’]=’Python’

Accessing a Dictionary:
To access dictionary elements, you can use the square brackets along with the key to obtain its
value.

Traversing a Dictionary:
Traversing a dictionary means accessing each element of a Dictionary. This can be done by
using either for or while looping statement.

Common Dictionary operations:


 Appending values to Dictionary
 Updating Elements in a Dictionary
 Membership Operators ‘in’ and ‘not in’
 Removing an item from Dictionary

Dictionary Functions:
 len(): This function return the number of key-value pairs in the dictionary.
Syntax: len(dic_name)
 clear(): This function removes all items from the particular dictionary.
Syntax: d.clear()
 get(): this function returns a value for the given key. If key is not available, then returns
default value none.
Syntax: d.get(key,default=None)
 items(): This function returns the content of dictionary as a list of tuples having key-value
pairs.
Syntax: d.items()
 keys(): This function returns a list of the key values in a dictionary.
Syntax: d.keys()
 values(): This function returns a list of values from key-value pairs in a dictionary.
Syntax: d.values()
 fromkeys(): This function is used to create dictionary from a collection of keys.
Syntax: d.fromkeys(ck,v)
 copy(): This function is used to create copy of dictionary.
Syntax: d.copy()
 popitem(): This function is used to removes last items from dictionary and returns this
deleted item.
Syntax: d.popitem()
 setdefault(): This function is used to returns the value of the item with specified key. If the
key does not exist, it inserts the key with the specified value.
Syntax: d.setdefault(key,default_value)
 max() and min(): These functions returns maximum and minimum value of key.
Syntax: max(d)
 sorted(): This function is used to sorts the elements of a dictionary by its key or value.
Syntax: sorted(d)
