1. Creating¶
In [ ]:
aDictExample={"name":"Peter",
"speaks":['French', 'Spanish'],
'country':'Morocco'}
# then
aDictExample
2. Accessing¶
Each dictionary element in Python can be accessed via keys NOT indexes (so no slices). Our aDictExample has these keys:
In [ ]:
aDictExample.keys()
In [ ]:
#then
aDictExample['speaks']
In [ ]:
# Here the index is for the list:
aDictExample['speaks'][0]
2. Replacing¶
In [ ]:
aDictExample['country']='Tunisia'
aDictExample
3. Deleting¶
In [ ]:
del aDictExample['country']
aDictExample
Becareful when using pop():
In [ ]:
aDictExample.pop('name')
In [ ]:
#now
aDictExample
4. Inserting¶
Let's create a dict from some lists:
In [ ]:
namesP=["Qing", "Françoise", "Raúl", "Bjork","Marie"]
agesP=[32,33,28,30,29]
countryP=["China", "Senegal", "España", "Norway","Korea"]
educationP=["Bach", "Bach", "Master", "PhD","PhD"]
In [ ]:
#notice alternative way of creating
classroom=dict(student=namesP,age=agesP,edu=educationP)
# see it:
classroom
There is no append to add an element, you need update:
In [ ]:
classroom.update({'country':countryP})
# now:
classroom
