Subjective type questions

1. What do you mean by a dictionary? Explain with the context of key:value pair?
2. What are the characteristics of a dictionary that differs it from other collections like lists, tuples,
sets of python?
3. How you can access keys and values simultaneously? Explain with the example.
4. What are the different ways to create a dictionary? Elaborate your answer with an example.
5. How to add, update and delete element from the dictionary? Illustrate your answer with an
example.
6. How to access items, keys and values from a dictionary? Describe the answer with an example.
7. When are dictionaries more useful than lists ?

8. What advantages do tuples have over lists?

Ans The advantages of tuples over the lists are as follows:

 Tuples are faster than lists.

 Tuples make the code safe from any accidental modification. If a data is needed in a
program which is not supposed to be changed, then it is better to put it in ‘tuples’ than in
‘list’.
 Tuples can be used as dictionary keys if it contains immutable values like strings, numbers
or another tuple. ‘Lists’ can never be used as dictionary keys as ‘lists’ are mutable.
