Changing or Adding Elements in Python Dictionary
How to Add an Element in Python Dictionary?
You can change or add elements in a dictionary in Python. By creating a new index key and providing a value to it, you can add an item to the dictionary.
Example:
thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
thisdict["color"] = "red"
print(thisdict)Output:
{'brand': 'Ford', 'model': 'Mustang', 'year': 1964, 'color': 'red'}
How to Update an Element in Python Dictionary?
The dictionary will be updated with items from a provided input using the update() method. If the object does not already exist, it will be created.
A dictionary or an iterable object containing key-value pairs must be used as the argument.
Example:
thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
thisdict.update({"color": "red"})Output:
{'brand': 'Ford', 'model': 'Mustang', 'year': 1964, 'color': 'red'}
