Built-in Dictionary

Functions/Methods in Python
Introduction to Dictionary Methods

• Python dictionaries store data as key-value pairs.


• They provide built-in methods to modify, access, and manage data
efficiently.
• These methods help in removing, updating, and retrieving data
from a dictionary.
• Let's explore some of the key built-in dictionary methods.
List of Built-in Dictionary Methods

• 1. clear() - Removes all items from the dictionary


• 2. copy() - Returns a shallow copy of the dictionary
• 3. fromkeys() - Creates a dictionary from given keys
• 4. get() - Returns the value of a specified key
• 5. items() - Returns key-value pairs as tuples
• 6. keys() - Returns all keys in the dictionary
• 7. pop() - Removes and returns an element with a given key
• 8. popitem() - Removes and returns the last inserted item
• 9. setdefault() - Returns the value of a key or sets a default
• 10. update() - Updates the dictionary with another dictionary
1. clear()

• Removes all items from the dictionary.

• Example:
• my_dict = {'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3}
• my_dict.clear()
• print(my_dict)

• Output:
• {}
2. get()

• Returns the value for the given key.

• Example:
• d = {'Name': 'Ram', 'Age': 19, 'Country': 'India'}
• print(d.get('Name'))
• print(d.get('Gender'))

• Output:
• Ram
• None
3. items()

• Returns all dictionary key-value pairs as a list of tuples.

• Example:
• d = {'Name': 'Ram', 'Age': 19, 'Country': 'India'}
• print(list(d.items()))

• Output:
• [('Name', 'Ram'), ('Age', 19), ('Country', 'India')]
4. keys()

• Returns a list of all dictionary keys.

• Example:
• d = {'Name': 'Ram', 'Age': 19, 'Country': 'India'}
• print(list(d.keys()))

• Output:
• ['Name', 'Age', 'Country']
5. update()

• Updates the dictionary with another dictionary's key-value pairs.

• Example:
• d1 = {'Name': 'Ram', 'Age': 19}
• d2 = {'Country': 'India'}
• d1.update(d2)
• print(d1)

• Output:
• {'Name': 'Ram', 'Age': 19, 'Country': 'India'}
6. values()

• Returns a list of all dictionary values.

• Example:
• d = {'Name': 'Ram', 'Age': 19, 'Country': 'India'}
• print(list(d.values()))

• Output:
• ['Ram', 19, 'India']
7. pop()

• Removes and returns the value for the given key.

• Example:
• d = {'Name': 'Ram', 'Age': 19, 'Country': 'India'}
• d.pop('Age')
• print(d)

• Output:
• {'Name': 'Ram', 'Country': 'India'}
8. popitem()

• Removes and returns the last inserted key-value pair.

• Example:
• d = {'Name': 'Ram', 'Age': 19, 'Country': 'India'}
• val = d.popitem()
• print(val)

• Output:
• ('Country', 'India')
