DICTIONARY
• Introduction
• Creating a dictionary
• Accessing elements of a dictionary
• Dictionary Operations
• Traversing a Dictionary
• Adding Elements to Dictionary
• Updating Elements in a dictionary
• Deleting Elements from a Dictionary
• Checking for Existence of a Key
• Dictionary Functions and Methods
S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG
DICTIONARY
• Unordered collection of elements in the form of
Key:Value pairs
• Enclosed with { } – braces (curly bracket)
• Keys are immutable and Values are mutable
• The Keys within a dictionary must be unique
• Data type of dictionary falls under mapping
• Items are separated with , (comma) operator
• Items in a dictionary accessed with their keys not using
index
• Dictionaries are indexed by KEYS
S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG
Creation of a Dictionary
Syntax
<Dict_Name>={<K1>:<V1>, <K2>:<V2>, <K3>:<V3>,…}

Where,
• K1,K2,K3 - Unique keys
• V1,V2,V3 - Values
Example:
D={1:’Apple’,2:’Orange’,3:’Mango’}
D1={‘CS’:’Ram’,’MAT’:’John’,’ENG’:’Om’}
S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG
Accessing a Dictionary
Syntax
<Dict_Name>[<KEY>]
Example:

S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG


Accessing a Dictionary
Example:

Accessing KEYS : <Dict_Name>.keys()

Accessing VALUES : <Dict_Name>.values()

Accessing ITEMS : <Dict_Name>.items()

S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG


Dictionary Operations
• Traversing
• Adding
• Updating
• Deleting
• Searching

S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG


Dictionary Operations
Traversing a Dictionary
• Accessing and processing each element

S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG


Dictionary Operations
Adding / Updating a Dictionary
• KEY is not Exist :
• Adding an element to the existing dictionary
<Dict_Name>[<key>]=<value>
• KEY is Exist :
• Updating a value of an existing key
<Dict_Name>[<key>]=<value>

S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG


Dictionary Operations
Deleting an element from a Dictionary
• del command
• pop() function
• Method 1 : Using del command
del <Dict_Name>[key]
• Key is exist , it will remove the item “key:value”
pair from the Dictionary
• Key is not exist, it will show “KeyError:key”

S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG


Dictionary Operations
Deleting an element from a Dictionary
• del command
• pop() function
• Method 2 : Using pop() function
<Dict_Name>.pop(<key>,[”Not Found”])
• Key is exist , it will remove the item “key:value”
pair from the Dictionary
• Key is not exist, it will show “KeyError:key” or user defined message

User Defined Error Message

S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG


Dictionary Operations
Searching an element from a Dictionary
• Using membership operator like in and not in
• The in operator will return True if the KEY exist otherwise False
• The not in operator will return True if the KEY is not exist otherwise False

S. SHUNMUGA SUNDARAM, M.E/CSE, A.M.I.E, M.I.S.T.E, M.IAENG


Dictionary Functions
Methods and Functions of a Dictionary
• len() - Returns number of elements in the dictionary
• clear() - Remove all the items from the dictionary
• get() - Get the item with the given key. Key is not exist then
it will return null or to display user defined message
• Items() - Display all the items in the dictionary
• keys() - Display all the keys in the dictionary
• values() - Display all the values in the dictionary
• update() - Merges Key:Value pairs from the new dictionary into
the existing dictionary (adding or replacing as needed)

Do It Yourself:
Write a program to check for presence of a value inside a dictionary and prints its key
