Python Dictionary

Dictionary in Python is a collection of keys


values, used to store data values like a map,
which, unlike other data types which hold only
a single value as an element.
Example of Dictionary in Python
Dictionary holds key:value pair. Key-Value is provided in the dictionary
to make it more optimized.

Dict = {1: Hello', 2: Hii', 3: world'}


print(Dict)

Output:
{1: Hello', 2: Hii', 3: world'}
Creating a Dictionary

In Python, a dictionary can be created by placing


a sequence of elements within curly {} braces,
separated by ‘comma’. Dictionary holds pairs of
values, one being the Key and the other
corresponding pair element being its Key:value.
Values in a dictionary can be of any data type and can be
duplicated, whereas keys can’t be repeated and must
be immutable.

Note – Dictionary keys are case sensitive, the same name


but different cases of Key will be treated distinctly.
Example :

# Creating a Dictionary
# with Integer Keys
Dict = {1: 'Geeks', 2: 'For', 3: 'Geeks'}
print("\nDictionary with the use of Integer Keys: ")
print(Dict)

# Creating a Dictionary
# with Mixed keys
Dict = {'Name': 'Geeks', 1: [1, 2, 3, 4]}
print("\nDictionary with the use of Mixed Keys: ")
print(Dict)
Output :

Dictionary with the use of Integer Keys:

{1: 'Geeks', 2: 'For', 3: 'Geeks’}

Dictionary with the use of Mixed Keys:

{'Name': 'Geeks', 1: [1, 2, 3, 4]}


Dictionary can also be created by the built-in function dict(). An empty dictionary can be
created by just placing to curly braces{}.

Example :
# Creating an empty Dictionary
Dict = {}
print("Empty Dictionary: ")
print(Dict)

# Creating a Dictionary
# with dict() method
Dict = dict({1: 'Geeks', 2: 'For', 3: 'Geeks'})
print("\nDictionary with the use of dict(): ")
print(Dict)

# Creating a Dictionary
# with each item as a Pair
Dict = dict([(1, 'Geeks'), (2, 'For')])
print("\nDictionary with each item as a pair: ")
print(Dict)
Output :
Empty Dictionary:

{} Dictionary with the use of dict():

{1: 'Geeks', 2: 'For', 3: 'Geeks’}

Dictionary with each item as a pair:

{1: 'Geeks', 2: 'For’}

Complexities for Creating a Dictionary:

Time complexity: O(len(dict))


Space complexity: O(n)
Nested Dictionary:
Example :

# Creating a Nested Dictionary


# as shown in the below image
Dict = {1: 'Geeks', 2: 'For',
3: {'A': 'Welcome', 'B': 'To', 'C': 'Geeks'}}

print(Dict)

Output:

{1: 'Geeks', 2: 'For', 3: {'A': 'Welcome', 'B': 'To', 'C': 'Geeks'}}


Adding elements to a Dictionary

 Addition of elements can be done in multiple ways. One


value at a time can be added to a Dictionary by defining
value along with the key e.g. Dict[Key] = ‘Value’. Updating
an existing value in a Dictionary can be done by using the
built-in update() method. Nested key values can also be
added to an existing Dictionary.

 Note- While adding a value, if the key-value already


exists, the value gets updated otherwise a new Key with
the value is added to the Dictionary.
Accessing elements of a Dictionary
In order to access the items of a dictionary refer to its key name. Key
can be used inside square brackets.

Example:
# Python program to demonstrate

# accessing a element from a Dictionary

# Creating a Dictionary

Dict = {1: 'Geeks', 'name': 'For', 3: 'Geeks'}

# accessing a element using key

print("Accessing a element using key:")

print(Dict['name'])

# accessing a element using key

print("Accessing a element using key:")

print(Dict[1])
Output:
Accessing a element using key:
For

Accessing a element using key:


Geeks

There is also a method called get() that will also help in accessing the element
from a dictionary.This method accepts key as argument and returns the value.

Complexities for Accessing elements in a Dictionary:

Time complexity: O(1)


Space complexity: O(1)
Accessing an element of a nested dictionary
In order to access the value of any key in the nested dictionary, use indexing [] syntax.

Example:

# Creating a Dictionary
Dict = {'Dict1': {1: 'Geeks'},
'Dict2': {'Name': 'For'}}

# Accessing element using key


print(Dict['Dict1'])
print(Dict['Dict1'][1])
print(Dict['Dict2']['Name’])

Output:
{1: 'Geeks'} Geeks For
Dictionary methods:

• clear() – Remove all the elements from the dictionary


• copy() – Returns a copy of the dictionary
• get() – Returns the value of specified key
• items() – Returns a list containing a tuple for each key value pair
• keys() – Returns a list containing dictionary’s keys
• pop() – Remove the element with specified key
• popitem() – Removes the last inserted key-value pair
• update() – Updates dictionary with specified key-value pairs
• values() – Returns a list of all the values of dictionary
CONCLUSION

A Python dictionary is an unordered collection of


data values. Unlike other data types that hold only
one value as an element, a Python dictionary holds a
key: value pair. The Python dictionary is optimized in
a manner that allows it to access values when the
key is known.
