In Python, dictionaries are a built-in data structure, and they come with various built-in functions

(technically, methods) that allow you to manipulate and interact with dictionary data. Here are the
main built-in functions that are applicable to dictionaries:

Common Python Built-in Functions Used with Dictionaries

1. len()
Returns the number of items (key-value pairs) in the dictionary.

person = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}

print(len(person)) # Output: 3

type()

Returns the type of the dictionary object.

person = {"name": "John", "age": 30}

print(type(person)) # Output: <class 'dict'>

str()
Converts the dictionary to its string representation

person = {"name": "John", "age": 30}

print(str(person)) # Output: "{'name': 'John', 'age': 30}"

dict()
This is the built-in Python constructor to create a dictionary.

new_dict = dict(name="John", age=30)

print(new_dict) # Output: {'name': 'John', 'age': 30}

max()
Returns the maximum key in the dictionary. By default, it compares the keys (not values).

data = {1: "a", 2: "b", 3: "c"}

print(max(data)) # Output: 3

min()
Returns the minimum key in the dictionary.

data = {1: "a", 2: "b", 3: "c"}

print(min(data)) # Output: 1

sorted()
Returns a sorted list of the dictionary's keys.

data = {3: "c", 1: "a", 2: "b"}

print(sorted(data)) # Output: [1, 2, 3]

all()
Returns True if all keys in the dictionary are truthy, or if the dictionary is empty.
data = {1: "a", 2: "b", 0: "c"} # 0 is falsy

print(all(data)) # Output: False

any()
Returns True if at least one key in the dictionary is truthy. If the dictionary is empty, it returns False.

data = {0: "a", 0: "b", 3: "c"} # 3 is truthy

print(any(data)) # Output: True

sum()
Returns the sum of the keys (only works if keys are numeric).

person = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}

# Get the length of the dictionary (number of key-value pairs)

print(len(person)) # Output: 3

# Get the type of the object

print(type(person)) # Output: <class 'dict'>

# Convert the dictionary to a string representation

print(str(person)) # Output: "{'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}"

# Create a dictionary using the dict() constructor

new_dict = dict(name="Alice", age=25)

print(new_dict) # Output: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

# Get the maximum key

data = {1: "a", 2: "b", 3: "c"}

print(max(data)) # Output: 3

# Get the minimum key

print(min(data)) # Output: 1

# Sort the dictionary keys

print(sorted(data)) # Output: [1, 2, 3]


# Check if all keys are truthy

print(all(data)) # Output: True

# Check if any key is truthy

print(any(data)) # Output: True

# Get the sum of the keys

print(sum(data)) # Output: 6

Example Summary:

person = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}

# Get the length of the dictionary (number of key-value pairs)

print(len(person)) # Output: 3

# Get the type of the object

print(type(person)) # Output: <class 'dict'>

# Convert the dictionary to a string representation

print(str(person)) # Output: "{'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}"

# Create a dictionary using the dict() constructor

new_dict = dict(name="Alice", age=25)

print(new_dict) # Output: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

# Get the maximum key

data = {1: "a", 2: "b", 3: "c"}

print(max(data)) # Output: 3
# Get the minimum key

print(min(data)) # Output: 1

# Sort the dictionary keys

print(sorted(data)) # Output: [1, 2, 3]

# Check if all keys are truthy

print(all(data)) # Output: True

# Check if any key is truthy

print(any(data)) # Output: True

# Get the sum of the keys

print(sum(data)) # Output: 6
