DICTIONARIES • Add new item in a dict print(x)

• Key/Value pairs identifier[newkey]=newvalue Output :

• Associative array, like java HashMap >>{'beef': 33.8, 'chicken': 22.7}
• Dict are unordered x = {‘pork’ : 25.3, ‘beef’ : 33.8, ‘chicken’ : 22.7}
x[‘shrimp’]=38.2
LENGTH
print(x) •
CONSTRUCTORS get the size of the dict
• Creating new dictionaries Output :
len(identifier)
>>{'pork': 25.3, 'beef': 33.8, 'chicken': 22.7, 'shrimp':
x = {‘pork’ : 25.3, ‘beef’ : 33.8, ‘chicken’ : 22.7} 38.2}
x = {‘pork’ : 25.3, ‘beef’ : 33.8, ‘chicken’ : 22.7}
x = dict ([(‘pork’, 25.3), (‘beef’, 33.8), (‘chicken’, 22.7)]) print(len(x))
x = dict (pork=25.3, beef=33.8, chicken=22.7) UPDATE
• Update existing item in a dict Output :
>>3
identifiers[key]=newvalue
Output :
>> {'pork': 25.3, 'beef': 33.8, 'chicken': 22.7} x = {‘pork’ : 25.3, ‘beef’ : 33.8, ‘chicken’ : 22.7} DELETE
x[‘chicken’]=38.2 • Delete all item in a dict
print(x) clear()
DICT OPERATIONS del(identifier)
• Add or update Output :
>>{'pork': 25.3, 'beef': 33.8, 'chicken': 38.2} x = {‘pork’ : 25.3, ‘beef’ : 33.8, ‘chicken’ : 22.7}
• Delete an items x.clear()
• Get length of the dict print(x)
DELETE
• Delete all items from the dict • Delete an item in a dict Output :
>>{}
del(identifier[value])
