Summary of the Video: "Dictionaries in Python - Advanced Python 03 - Programming Tutorial"
Main Ideas:
- Definition and Structure of Dictionaries:
- A dictionary in Python is an unordered and mutable collection of key-value pairs.
- Created using braces
{}with each key-value pair separated by a colon:and items separated by commas,.
- Creating Dictionaries:
- Two methods to create Dictionaries:
- Accessing Values:
- Access values using the key:
value = my_dict['name'] # Returns 'Max' - A
KeyErroris raised if the key does not exist.
- Access values using the key:
- Modifying Dictionaries:
- Adding or changing key-value pairs:
my_dict['email'] = 'max@xyz.com' # Adds new key-value pair my_dict['email'] = 'coolmax' # Overwrites existing key - Deleting items using:
- Adding or changing key-value pairs:
- Checking for Keys:
- Use
ifstatement:if 'name' in my_dict: print(my_dict['name']) - Use
try-exceptblock to handleKeyError.
- Use
- Looping Through Dictionaries:
- Loop through keys:
for key in my_dict: print(key) - Loop through values:
for value in my_dict.values(): print(value) - Loop through key-value pairs:
for key, value in my_dict.items(): print(key, value)
- Loop through keys:
- Copying Dictionaries:
- Merging Dictionaries:
- Key Types:
- Keys can be any immutable type (e.g., strings, numbers, tuples).
- Lists cannot be used as keys since they are mutable.
