Write a python program to read dictionary data and delete any given key entry in
the dictionary.
d = {'a':1,'b':2,'c':3,'d':4}
print("Initial dictionary")
print(d)
1. key=raw_input("Enter the key to delete(a-d):") 6M
2 2
3 if key in d:
del d[key]
else:
print("Key not found!")
exit(0)
print("Updated dictionary")
print(d)
Using string slicing operation write python program to reverse each word
in a given string (eg: input: “hello how are you”, output: “olleh woh era
uoy”) def reverse_string(str):
str1 = "" # Declaring empty string to store the reversed string
for i in str:
str1 = i + str1
return str1 # It will return the reverse string to the caller function
2. 8M
2 2 3 str = " hello how are you " # Given String
print("The original string is: ",str)
print("The reverse string is",reverse_string(str)) # Function call
Output:
('The original string is: ', ' hello how are you ')
('The reverse string is', ' olleh woh era uoy ')
Read a multi-digit number (as chars) from the console. Develop a program
3. 2 2 3 to print the frequency of each digit with suitable message. 6M
Ans : Lab Program 4
4. 2 2 2 Explain the following methods with a programming example:
(i) get() (ii) setdefault() (iii) items() 6M
Develop a program to print 10 most frequently appearing words present in
the string entered by the user. [Hint: Use dictionary with distinct words
5 2 2 3 and their frequency of occurrences. Sort the dictionary in the reverse order 8M
of frequency and display dictionary slice of first 10 items]
Ans : Lab program 5
6 2 2 1 List the merits of dictionary over list. 4M
7 2 2 2 Give a short note about pretty printing with suitable example 6M
8. 2 2 2 What is dictionary? Illustrate it with an example of the usage of nested
6M
dictionary.
9 2 2 3 Discuss the following Dictionary methods in Python with examples.
8M
(i)get() (ii) items() (iii)keys() (iv) values()
Develop a Python function called find_grade that takes a
10 2 2 3 student's name as input and returns their grade from the grades dictionary.
8M
If the name is not found,return "Not found." Use the following dictionary:
grades = {"Alice": "A", "Bob":"B", "Charlie": "C"}
