Dictionary in Python

Dictionaries are used to store data values in key:value pairs

Apna
They are unordered, mutable(changeable) & don’t allow duplicate keys

College
“key” : value

dict[”name”], dict[”cgpa”],

dict[”marks”] dict[”key”] = “value”

#to assign or add


new
Dictionary in Python
Nested Dictionaries

Apna
College
student[”score”][”math”]
Dictionary Methods
myDict.keys( ) #returns all keys

Apna
myDict.values( ) #returns all values

College
myDict.items( ) #returns all (key, val) pairs as tuples

myDict.get( “key““ ) #returns the key according to value

myDict.update( newDict ) #inserts the specified items to the dictionary


Set in Python
Set is the collection of the unordered items.

Apna
Each element in the set must be unique & immutable.

College
nums = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }

set2 = { 1, 2, 2, 2 }
#repeated elements stored only once, so it resolved to {1, 2}

null_set = set( ) #empty set syntax


Set Methods
set.add( el ) #adds an element

Apna
set.remove( el ) #removes the

College
elem an set.clear( ) #empties the

set

set.pop( ) #removes a random value


Set Methods
set.union( set2 ) #combines both set values & returns new

Apna
set.intersection( set2 ) #combines common values & returns new

College
Let‘s Practice
Store following word meanings in a python

Apna
dictionary : table : “a piece of furniture”, “list of facts

& figures” cat : “a small animal”

College
You are given a list of subjects for students. Assume one classroom is
required for 1 subject. How many classrooms are needed by all students.

”python”, “java”, “C++”, “python”, “javascript”,


“java”, “python”, “java”, “C++”, “C”
Let‘s Practice
WAP to enter marks of 3 subjects from the user and store them in a
dictionary. Start with an empty dictionary & add one by one. Use subject name
as key & marks as value.

Apna
College
Figure out a way to store 9 & 9.0 as separate values in
the set. (You can take help of built-in data types)
