How are dictionaries implemented in Python?
Dictionary in python is just like a map in C++ and Java. The Iike Map dictionary consists of two things: first is key and second is value. Dictionary is dynamic in nature. You can add more keys and values to the dictionary after creating the dictionary and also you can delete the key and value in the dictionary. You can add another dictionary to the currently created dictionary. Also you can add the list to the dictionary and dictionary to list.
In the dictionary you can access the elements via their respective keys.
Dictionary = { 1: "Apple", 2: "Ball", 3: "Caterpillar", 4: "Doctor", 5: "Elephant" }
Here in dictionaries 1, 2, 3 … are representing the keys and “Apple”, “Ball”, “Caterpillar”....represent the value.
Dictionary = { Key: "Value", Key : "Value", . . . . . Key : "Value" }
Access the elements
print(dictionary[1]) #print element whose key value is 1 i.e. “Apple” print(dictionary[4]) # print element whose key value is 4 “Doctor”
Insert and update elements in Dictionary
Dictionary[6] = "Flesh" # inserting element with key value 6 at last in dictionary Dictionary[3] = "Cat" # element with key value 3 is update with value “Cat”
Delete element in Dictionary
Dictionary.pop(3) # Delete element with key value 3 del Dictionary[4] # delete element with key value 4 Dictionary.popitem() # delete last inserted element in dictionary del Dictionary # this will delete whole dictionary
