Chapter 12: Dictionaries

Lecture: 1
DICTIONARY – KEY: VALUE PAIRS:
Dictionaries are mutable, unordered collections with elements in the form or a key: value
pairs that associate keys to values.

Creating a Dictionary:
To create a dictionary, we include the key : value pairs in curly braces as per following
syntax:
<dictionary – name> = { <key>:<value>, <key>: <value> …..}
Example:

Note 1:
Internally, dictionaries are indexed (i.e., arranged) on the basis of keys.
Note 2:
Dictionaries are also called associated arrays or mappings or hashes.
PRG 1:
Write a program to read roll numbers and marks of four students and create a directory
from it having roll numbers as keys.

print('='*52)
rno = []
mks = []
for a in range(4):
r, m =eval(input('Enter roll no and marks respectively :'))
rno.append(r)
mks.append(m)
D ={rno[0]: mks[0], rno[1] : mks[1], rno[2]: mks[2], rno[3]: mks[3]}
print('-'*52)
print('Dictionary Created....')
print(D)
print('='*52))

OR
1
print('='*52)
D={}
for a in range(4):
r, m =eval(input('Enter roll no and marks respectively :'))
D[r]=m

print('-'*52)
print('Dictionary Created....')
print(D)
print('='*52)

Output:

====================================================
Enter roll no and marks respectively :10, 90
Enter roll no and marks respectively :12, 80
Enter roll no and marks respectively :13, 79
Enter roll no and marks respectively :18, 82
----------------------------------------------------
Dictionary Created....
{10: 90, 12: 80, 13: 79, 18: 82}
====================================================

Accessing Elements of a Dictionary:


While accessing elements from the dictionary we need the key. While in lists, the elements are
accessed through there index. In directories, the elements are accessed through the keys
defined in the key:value pairs as per the syntax given below:
<dictionary –name> [<key>]

Example:
teachers = {'Simple': 'Computer Science', 'Madhu' : 'Sociology',
'Harpreet': 'Science', 'Raman' :'Mathematics'}

PRG 2:
Write a program to create a dictionary namely Numerals from following two lists.
Keys = [‘One’, ‘Two’ , ’Three’]
Values= [1, 2, 3]

KEYS = ['One', 'Two' , 'Three']


VALUES= [1, 2, 3]
NUMERAL = dict (zip (KEYS,VALUES))
print('='*52)
print('Given two lists are', KEYS, VALUES)
print("Dictionary created with these lists is ")
print(NUMERAL)
print('='*52)
Output:

====================================================
Given two lists are ['One', 'Two', 'Three'] [1, 2, 3]
Dictionary created with these lists is
{'One': 1, 'Two': 2, 'Three': 3}
====================================================
PRG 3:
Write a program to create a dictionary containing names of competition
winner students as keys and number of their wins as values.

print('='*52)
N = int(input("How many students?"))
CW = {}
for i in range(N):
KEY =input('Name of the student :')
VALUE = int( input('Number of competitions won :'))
CW[KEY]=VALUE
print('The dictionary now is:')
print('-'*52)
print(CW)
print('='*52)

Output:
====================================================
How many students?3
Name of the student :AMAN
Number of competitions won :5
Name of the student :AMIR
Number of competitions won :3
Name of the student :ALAM
Number of competitions won :7
The dictionary now is:
----------------------------------------------------
{'AMAN': 5, 'AMIR': 3, 'ALAM': 7}
====================================================
