each item consist of a key and a value.
It is mutable (can modify its contents ) but Key must
be unique and immutable.

Creating A Dictionary
It is enclosed in curly braces {} and each item is separated from other item by a
comma(,). Within each item, key and value are separated by a colon (:).Passing
value in dictionary at declaration is dictionary initialization.
e.g.
dict = {‘Subject': ‘Informatic Practices', 'Class': ‘11'}

Accessing List Item


dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
print(dict)
print ("Subject : ", dict['Subject'])
print ("Class : ", dict.get('Class'))
OUTPUT
{'Class': '11', 'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'}
('Subject : ', 'Informatics Practices')
('Class : ', 11)
Dictionary
Iterating / Traversing through A Dictionary

Deleting Dictionary Elements
del, pop() and clear() statement are used to remove
elements from the dictionary.

print('before del', dict)
del dict['Class'] # delete single element
print('after item delete', dict)
del dict #delete whole dictionary
print('after dictionary delete', dict)

Output
('before del', {'Class': 11, 'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after item delete', {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices'})
('after dictionary delete', <type 'dict'>)
Dictionary
pop() method is used to remove a particular item in a
dictionary. clear() method used to remove all
is elements from the
dictionary.

dict = {'Subject': 'Informatics Practices', 'Class': 11}
print('before del', dict)
dict.pop('Class')
print('after item
delete', dict)
dict.clear()
