What is a Nested Dictionary?

 A dictionary inside another dictionary


 Used to represent complex data structures
 Example:
 students = {
 "A1": {"name": "Alice", "grade": "A"},
 "B2": {"name": "Bob", "grade": "B"}
 }
Accessing Data in Nested Dictionaries

 Access outer and inner keys:


 students["A1"]["name"] # Output: Alice
Adding and Updating Data

 Add new: students["C3"] = {"name": "Charlie", "grade": "A"}


 Update: students["A1"]["grade"] = "A+"
Looping Through Nested Dictionaries

 for student_id, info in students.items():


 print(f"ID: {student_id}")
 for key, value in info.items():
 print(f" {key}: {value}")
 Output:
 ID: A1
 name: Alice
 grade: A
 ID: B2
 name: Bob
 grade: B
Deleting Items

 Delete entry: del students["B2"]


 Delete inner key: del students["A1"]["grade"]
