INT 213 Python Dictionaries

1. Dictionaries in Python use braces {} and contain keys and their associated values separated by colons. 2. Keys must be immutable like strings, numbers, or tuples while values can be any data type. 3. Dictionaries are accessed using keys and allow fast lookup of values using different data types as keys like numbers, strings etc.

Dictionaries

The syntax provides useful type information. The square brackets indicate that it’s a
list. The parenthesis indicate that the elements in the list are tuples.

Fibonacci using Dictionary
fib={0:0,1:1}
def fibo(n):
if(n==0):
return 0
if(n==1):
return 1
else:
for i in range(2, n+1):
fib[i]=fib[i-1]+fib[i-2]
return(fib)
print(fibo(5))
Iterate over Python dictionaries using for loops

d={'red':1,'green':2,'blue':3}
for color_key, value in d.items():
print(color_key,'corresponds to', d[color_key])

OUTPUT:

blue corresponds to 3
green corresponds to 2
red corresponds to 1

Remove a key from a Python dictionary

myDict = {'a':1,'b':2,'c':3,'d':4}  
print(myDict)  
if 'a' in myDict:   
    del myDict['a']  
print(myDict) 
OUTPUT:

{'d': 4, 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}


{'d': 4, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

Sort a Python dictionary by key

color_dict = {'red':'#FF0000',
'green':'#008000',
'black':'#000000',
'white':'#FFFFFF'}

for key in sorted(color_dict):


print(key,” :”, color_dict[key]))

OUTPUT:

black: #000000
green: #008000
red: #FF0000
white: #FFFFFF
Find the maximum and minimum value of a Python dictionary

my_dict = {'x':500, 'y':5874, 'z': 560}

key_max = max(my_dict.keys(), key=(lambda k: my_dict[k]))


key_min = min(my_dict.keys(), key=(lambda k: my_dict[k]))

print('Maximum Value: ',my_dict[key_max])


print('Minimum Value: ',my_dict[key_min])

OUTPUT:

Maximum Value: 5874


Minimum Value: 500
Concatenate two Python dictionaries into a new one

dic1={1:10, 2:20}  
dic2={3:30, 4:40}  
dic3={5:50,6:60}  
dic4 = {}  
for d in (dic1, dic2, dic3): dic4.update(d)  
print(dic4) 

OUTPUT:

{1: 10, 2: 20, 3: 30, 4: 40, 5: 50, 6: 60}

Test whether a Python dictionary contains a specific key
