Python Dictionaries A dictionary in Python is a collection of key-value pairs. Each key is unique and maps to a specific value. For example- {"Title": "The Hobbit", "Author":"J.R.R. Tolkien", "Year": 1937} Dictionaries don't use numeric indexes and don't maintain a fixed order. We can't insert items in a specified position, as dictionaries store data based on keys, other than sequences. Where values can be strings, numbers, or float, and keys can be strings, numbers, or tuples. Lowercasing Python Dictionary Keys and Values To convert dictionary keys and values to lowercase in Python, we can loop through the dictionary and create ... Read More

Python Dictionary In Python, a dictionary is a collection of unique key-value pairs. Unlike lists, which use numeric indexing, dictionaries use immutable keys like strings, numbers, or tuples. Lists cannot be keys since they are mutable. Dictionaries are created using {} and store, retrieve, or delete values using their keys. The list() function returns all keys, sorting them. The in keyword checks for key existence, and replacing a key updates its value. Converting JavaScript to a Python Dictionary Python and JavaScript represent dictionaries differently, so an intermediate format is needed to exchange data between them. The most widely used format ... Read More

A python dictionary is a Hashmap. You can use the map data structure in C++ to mimic the behavior of a python dict. You can use map in C++ as follows:#include #include using namespace std; int main(void) {    /* Initializer_list constructor */    map m1 = {       {'a', 1},       {'b', 2},       {'c', 3},       {'d', 4},       {'e', 5}    };    cout

A dictionary in Python is a collection of key-value pairs where each key must be unique. The lists, which are indexed by numbers, are accessed using keys that can be immutable types, strings, numbers, or tuples. Lists cannot be used as keys because they can be modified. Dictionaries are created using {}, and key-value pairs are added with commas. We can store, retrieve, and delete values using their keys. Using the list() returns all keys, while sorting them. To check if a key exists, we can use the in keyword. If a key is replaced, then its old value is replaced. ... Read More

A Python dictionary is an unordered, mutable collection of key-value pairs. Keys must be unique and immutable, while the other values can be of any other type. Dictionaries are useful for fast data storage and organization using meaningful keys. Optimizing Python Dictionary To optimize Python dictionaries, use suitable key types like strings or integers and pre-size them using methods such as dict.fromkeys() or collections.defaultdict() function. This enhances access speed, reduces memory usage, and specific overall performance. Optimizing dictionary access in Python can significantly improve performance in large programs. Here are several ways to do that with explanations and examples - ... Read More

A tuple in Python is an ordered collection of items that cannot be changed once, making it immutable. This allows duplicate values and can hold elements of different data types, such as strings, numbers, other tuples, and more. This makes tuples useful for grouping related data while determining that the content remains fixed and unchanged. How to Display an Entire Tuple in Python? To display a complete tuple in Python, we can simply use the print() function. Here's a basic example - tuple = (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2) print(tuple) The result is obtained as follows - ... Read More
