Python Dictionary Methods with Examples

1. dict.clear()

Removes all elements from the dictionary.

Example:

d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

d.clear()

print(d) # Output: {}

2. dict.copy()

Returns a shallow copy of the dictionary.

Example:

d1 = {'x': 10, 'y': 20}

d2 = d1.copy()

print(d2) # Output: {'x': 10, 'y': 20}

3. dict.fromkeys(seq, value)

Creates a dictionary from a sequence of keys and sets all values to the given value.

Example:

keys = ['a', 'b', 'c']

new_dict = dict.fromkeys(keys, 0)

print(new_dict) # Output: {'a': 0, 'b': 0, 'c': 0}

4. dict.get(key, default=None)

Returns the value for the key if it exists, else returns the default.

Example:

d = {'a': 1}

print(d.get('a')) # Output: 1

print(d.get('b', 0)) # Output: 0


5. dict.has_key(key)

Deprecated in Python 3. Use 'key in dict' instead.

Example:

d = {'a': 1}

print('a' in d) # Output: True

6. dict.items()

Returns a view of the dictionary's (key, value) pairs.

Example:

d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

print(d.items()) # Output: dict_items([('a', 1), ('b', 2)])

7. dict.keys()

Returns a view of the dictionary's keys.

Example:

d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

print(d.keys()) # Output: dict_keys(['a', 'b'])

8. dict.setdefault(key, default=None)

Returns the value of the key. If key is not present, inserts key with a default value.

Example:

d = {'a': 1}

print(d.setdefault('a', 100)) # Output: 1

print(d.setdefault('b', 200)) # Output: 200

9. dict.update(dict2)

Updates the dictionary with the key-value pairs from another dictionary.

Example:

d1 = {'a': 1}
d2 = {'b': 2}

d1.update(d2)

print(d1) # Output: {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

10. dict.values()

Returns a view of the dictionary's values.

Example:

d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

print(d.values()) # Output: dict_values([1, 2])
