Introduction to Python Dictionary

What are Dictionaries in Python?

Dictionaries in Python are unordered sets of data values that can be used to store data values like a map.

Unlike other data types, which can only carry a single value as an element, the dictionary can hold a key-value pair to make it more efficient.

Accessing Elements From a Dictionary

To access dictionary values in Python, look up the key name. Inside square brackets, the key can be used.

Example:

Dict = {1: 'WSC', 'name': 'For', 3: 'Python'}

# accessing an element using key

print("Accessing an element using key:")

print(Dict['name'])

# accessing an element using key

print("Accessing an element using key:")

print(Dict[1])

Output:

Accessing an element using key:
For
Accessing an element using key:
WSC
