Dictionaries
Pythons Tutorials
Think of dictionaries as treasure maps for your data. In Python, a dictionary is a versatile collection that stores data in key-value pairs, allowing you to organize and access information efficiently.
Creating Dictionaries and Accessing Values:
Creating a dictionary involves pairing keys with values using curly braces. You can access values by referencing their keys.
Example: Creating Dictionaries and Accessing Values
person = {
"name": "Alice",
"age": 30,
"city": "Wonderland"
}
print(person["name"]) # Output: Alice
print(person["age"]) # Output: 30
3. Modifying and Adding Entries:
Dictionaries are also dynamic so you can change values, add new entries, or remove existing ones.
Example: Modifying and Adding Entries
# Modifying an entry's value
person["age"] = 31
# Adding a new entry
person["job"] = "Adventurer"
