DICTIONARIES

What is Dictionary?
A Dictionary is an unordered collection of elements in the form of key and value pair. All
elements are kept within Curley bracket. Dictionary is mutable.

Example-1
D={10:’Rahul’,20:’Deepak’,30:’Swagat’}

1,2,3 are keys

Rahul, Deepak and Swagat are values

Example-2
D={“January”:31, “February”:28,”March”:31}

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Keys can’t be repeated but values can be.

HOW CAN YOU CREATE AN EMPTY DICTIONARY?

D={ }

HOW CAN YOU ACCESS AN ELEMENT OF A DICTIONARY?

D={1:’Rahul’,2:’Deepak’,3:’Swagat’}
print(D[1])---------Rahul
print(D[3])---------Swagat

TRAVERSING A DICTIONARY
Traversing means accessing of each element of a dictionary.
Example:
D={1:’Rahul’,2:’Deepak’,3:’Swagat’}
for key in D:
print(key,’:’,D[key])

HOW TO ACCESS KEYS OR VALUES SIMULTANEOUSLY

D={1:’Rahul’,2:’Deepak’,3:’Swagat’}

print(D.keys())----------1,2,3
print(D.values())-------Rahul, Deepak, Swagat

MULTIPLE WAYS OF CREATING A DICTIONARY

1)Initialising a dictionary
D={25:’Rahul’,43:’Deepak’,29:’Swagat’}
Print(D)

2)Adding key:value pair

NAME={ }
NAME[101]=’R.K.SAHOO’
NAME[102]=’B.K.MISHRA’
print(NAME)------{101:’R.K.SAHOO’,102:’B.K.MISHRA’}

3)Creating a dictionary from name and value pairs

Emp=dict(name='Suresh', ‘salary’=50000,’age’=37)
print(Emp)
4)Specify keys and values separately
Emp=dict(zip( ('name', 'salary', 'age'), ('Suresh', 50000, 37) ))
print(Emp)---- {‘name’:’Suresh’,’salary’:50000,’age’:37}

5)By making key and value pair group

Emp=dict( [‘name’,’Suresh’], [‘salary’, 50000], [‘age’, 37] )
print(Emp)---- {‘name’:’Suresh’,’salary’:50000,’age’:37}

HOW TO ADD AN ELEMENT TO A DICTIONARY

D={1:’Rahul’,2:’Deepak’,3:’Swagat’}
D[4]=’Dhiren’
print(D)----{1:’Rahul’,2:’Deepak’,3:’Swagat’,4:’Dhiren’}

NESTING DICTIONARY
A dictionary within another dictionary is called nesting dictionary
Example:
Emp={‘R.K.Singh’: {‘age’:40,’salary’:60000}, ‘B.K.Dutta’:{‘age’:42,’salary’:55000} }

HOW CAN YOU UPDATE/MODIFY AN EXISTING ELEMENT OF A DICTIONARY?

Emp={‘name’:’Suresh’, ‘salary’:50000, ‘age’:37}
Emp[age]=39
print(Emp)---- {‘name’:’Suresh’,’salary’:50000,’age’:39}

CHECKING FOR EXISTENCE OF A KEY (in/not in)

Emp={‘name’:’Suresh’, ‘salary’:50000, ‘age’:37}

print(‘age’ in Emp)---------True
print(‘dept’ in Emp)-------False
print(‘age’ not in Emp)--------False
print(‘dept’ not in Emp)-------True

PRETTY PRINTING A DICTIONARY

import json

Emp={'name':'Suresh', 'salary':50000, 'age':37}

print(json.dumps(Emp,indent=2))
{
"Name":"Suresh",
"Salary":50000,
"Age":37
}

COUNTING THE FREEQUENCY OF ELEMENT TO A LIST USING DICTIONARY

Text="THE BBSR IS THE CAPITALOF THE ODISHA"
Word=Text.split()
print(Word)
print("Total Freequency=",Word.count("THE"))

DICTIONARY FUNCTIONS/METHODS
i)len()-It will print the length of a dictionary.
Emp={'name':'Suresh', 'salary':50000, 'age':37}
print(len(Emp))---------3
Emp[‘dept’]=’sales’
print(len(Emp))-------4

ii)get()-It will print the value of a given key.

Emp={'name':'Suresh', 'salary':50000, 'age':37}
print(Emp.get(‘salary’))--------50000

iii)items()-It will return both key and value as a sequence.

Emp={'name':'Suresh', 'salary':50000, 'age':37}
S=Emp.items()
for key,val in S:
print(key,val)

OUTPUT:
‘name’:’Suresh’
‘salary’:50000
‘age’:37

iv)keys()-It will print all the keys together.

Emp={'name':'Suresh', 'salary':50000, 'age':37}
print(Emp.keys())---------[‘name’,’salary’,’age’]

v)values()-It will print all the values together.

Emp={'name':'Suresh', 'salary':50000, 'age':37}
print(Emp.values())---------[‘Suresh’,50000,37]

HOW TO CREATE A DICTIONARY USING fromkeys() FUNCTION?

Example1:
D=dict.fromkeys((10,20,30), (40,50,60))
print(D)----{10:(40,50,60), 20:(40,50,60),30:(40,50,60)}

Uses of setdefault() method/function-It adds a new element at the end.

Example1:
Marks={1:50, 2:100, 3:200, 4:300}
Marks.setdefault(5,400)
print(Marks)------{1:350, 2:423, 3:411, 4:300, 5:320}

Example2:
Marks={1:50, 2:100, 3:200, 4:300}
Marks.setdefault(5)
print(Marks)------- {1:350, 2:423, 3:411, 4:300, 5:None}

Uses of update() method/function

Example:
Emp1={“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000,”age”:43}
Emp2={“Name”:”B.K.Mishra”,”Salary”:90000,”Dept”:”Sales”}
Emp1.update(Emp2)
print(Emp1)

OUTPUT:
{'Name': 'B.K.Mishra', 'Salary': 90000, 'age': 43, 'Dept': 'Sales'}

HOW CAN YOU MAKE TRUE COPY OF A DICTIONARY USING copy() function?
Example:
Emp1={“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000,”age”:43}
Emp2=Emp1.copy()

print(Emp1)------- {“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000,”age”:43}

print(Emp2)------- {“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000,”age”:43}

HOW TO DELETE AN ELEMENT USING del keyword?

Emp={“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000,”age”:43}
del Emp[‘Salary’]
print(Emp)--- {“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “age”:43}

HOW TO DELETE AN ELEMENT USING pop() FUNCTION?

Emp={“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000,”age”:43}
Emp.pop(‘Salary’)
print(Emp)--- {“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “age”:43}

HOW TO DELETE THE LAST ELEMENT FROM THE DICTIONARY USING popitem() FUNCTION?
Emp={“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000,”age”:43}
Emp.popitem()
Output:
(‘age’,43)
print(Emp)---- {“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000}

HOW TO MAKE EMPTY THE ENTIRE DICTIONAR USING clear() FUNCTION?

Emp={“Name”:”R.K.sahoo”, “Salary”:85000,”age”:43}
Example1:
Emp.clear()
print(Emp)
Output:
{}

Example2:
Emp={"Name":"R.K.sahoo", "Salary":85000,"age":43}
del Emp
print(Emp)
output:
name ‘Emp’ is not defined

HOW TO SORT A DICTIONARY USING sorted() FUNCTION?

Emp={15:94,7:96,10:91}
Emp1=sorted(Emp)
Emp2=sorted(Emp,reverse=True)
print(Emp1)
print(Emp2)
USES OF min(), max(), and sum() FUNCTIONS
min()-It will print the very smallest value of the dictionary.
Roll={15:94,7:96,10:91}
Print(min(Roll)
Output: 7

max()-It will print the very largest value of the dictionary.

Roll={15:94,7:96,10:91}
Print(max(Roll)
Output: 15
sum()-It will find sum of all the values of the dictionary.
Roll={15:94,7:96,10:91}
print(sum(Roll)
Output: 32
