Experiment-8 Python notes

The document explains the concept of dictionaries in Python, highlighting their unordered nature and the use of key-value pairs. It details how to create dictionaries, access their elements, and emphasizes that keys must be unique and case-sensitive. Additionally, it compares dictionaries with other data types, noting that both sets and dictionaries do not allow duplicate elements, unlike lists and tuples.

Experiment-8: Dictionaries and their properties

 Dictionary

Dictionary is an unordered collection of datatypes, used to store data values. Unlike other Data Types
that hold only single value as an element, Dictionary holds key:value pair. Each key-value pair in a
Dictionary is separated by a colon :, whereas each key is separated by a ‘comma’.

Creating Dictionary
In Python, a Dictionary can be created by placing a sequence of elements within curly {} braces,
separated by ‘comma’. Values in a dictionary can be of any datatype and can be duplicated, whereas
keys can’t be repeated and must be immutable. Dictionary can also be created by the built-in
function dict(). An empty dictionary can be created by just placing it to curly braces{}.

Note – Dictionary’s keys are case sensitive, So, same name but different cases of Key will be treated
distinctly.

Eg-

# Creating an empty Dictionary


Dict = {}
print("Empty Dictionary: ")
print(Dict)

# Creating a Dictionary with Integer Keys


Dict = {1: 'Hello', 2: 'For', 3: 'World'}
print("\nDictionary with the use of Integer Keys: ")
print(Dict)

# Creating a Dictionary with Mixed keys


Dict = {'Name': 'Rajesh', 1: [1, 2, 3, 4]}
print("\nDictionary with the use of Mixed Keys: ")
print(Dict)

# Creating a Dictionary using dict( ) built-in function


Dict = dict({1: 'Hello', 2: 'For', 3:'World'})
print("\nDictionary with the use of dict( ): ")
print(Dict)
# Creating a Dictionary
Dict = {1: 'Hello', 'Name': 'Rajesh', 'NAME': 'Rahul'}
print("\nDictionary : ")
print(Dict)

# Note – Dictionary’s keys are case sensitive. So, same name but different cases of Key will be treated distinctly.

O/P:
Empty Dictionary:
{}
Dictionary with the use of Integer Keys:
{1: 'Hello', 2: 'For', 3: 'World'}
Dictionary with the use of Mixed Keys:
{1: [1, 2, 3, 4], 'Name': 'Rajesh'}
Dictionary with the use of dict():
{1: 'Hello', 2: 'For', 3: 'World'}
Dictionary :
{1: 'Hello', 'Name': 'Rajesh', 'NAME': 'Rahul'}

- Accessing elements of Dictionary :-

In order to access the items of a dictionary refer to its key name. Key can be used inside square brackets.
There is also a method called get() that will also help in accessing the element from a dictionary.

Eg-

# Python program to demonstrate accessing a element from a Dictionary


# Creating a Dictionary
Dict = {1: 'Hello', 'name': 'For', 3: 'World'}

# Accessing a element using key


print("Accessing a element using key:")
print(Dict['name'])

# Accessing a element using get( ) built-in function


print("Accessing a element using get:")
print(Dict.get(3))
O/P:-
Accessing a element using key:
For
Accessing a element using get:
World

Conclusion:-

Both Set and Dictionary datatypes do not allow duplicate elements (But List and tuple datatypes allow
duplicate elements).

Eg-
tuple1 = (1, 2, 33, 44, 6,2)
print("tuple datatype allows duplicate elements \n",tuple1)

List1 = ["Hello","World","Hello"]
print("List datatype also allows duplicate elements \n",List1)

dict = {1: 'jj', 2: 'For', 1: 'jj'}


print("Dictionary datatype does not allow duplicate elements \n",dict)

set1 = {1,2,3,4,5,1}
print("Set datatype does not allows duplicate elements \n",set1)

O/P:-
tuple datatype allows duplicate elements
(1, 2, 33, 44, 6, 2)
List datatype also allows duplicate elements
['Hello', 'World', 'Hello']
Dictionary datatype does not allow duplicate elements
{1: 'jj', 2: 'For'}
Set datatype does not allows duplicate elements
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
