An article on - Dictionaries in Python ( with example code and result of Dictionary Creation )

                         Dictionaries in Python


 

* A dictionary represents a group of elements arranged in the form of key-value pairs .

 

* In the dictionary , the first element is considered as "key" and the immediate next element is considered as the "value"

 

* The key and the associated value are separated by the help of a colon (:) operator

 

* All the key-value paris in a dictionary are inserted in curly braces { }

 

* One can take a dictionary by the name "dict" that contains the employee details in the following manner :

 

dict_01 =

{

'Name' : 'Gareeb' ,

'Id' : 001 ,

'Salary' : 0000

}

 

* The name of the dictionary item object in the given example is "dict_01"

 

* The first element in the dictionary is a string object called "Name" and its associated value is "Gareeb" .

The second item in the element is "Id" and its associated value is "001" . The third object in the dictionary object is "Salary" and its associated value is "0000"

 

* The above example is that of a dictionary object with its identifier name as "dict_01" . The dictionary item object is holding three values within it in the form of key and value pair .

 

* From this , we can get to see that there are 3 pairs of keys and values in the dictionary which can be shown in the below figure .


  

 

 

* To briefly explain the process of creation of a dictionary object , one can write a

program in the given manner :

 

# creating dictionary with key-value pairs

dict_01 =

 {

    'Name' : 'Gareeb' ,

    'Id':001 ,

    'Salary':0000

}

# Here a dictionary object is created with the following items in the form of

# key-value pairs - Name , Id and Salary

# If someone wants to retrieve the requisite values from the dictionary then one

# can do the following to retrieve the necessary objects

print(' Name of Employee ',dict_01['Name'])

print(' Id of Employee ',dict_01['Id'])

print(' Salary ',dict_01['Salary'])

 

The Code and Output for the same can be seen in the below given screenshot:
