Python Dictionary Manipulation Examples

1. Insert an item into a dictionary

# Example 1: Insert an item

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

my_dict['city'] = 'New York'

print(my_dict)

# Output: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'city': 'New York'}

2. Update an item in a dictionary

# Example 2: Update an item

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

my_dict['age'] = 26

print(my_dict)

# Output: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 26}

3. Delete an item from a dictionary

# Example 3: Delete an item

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'city': 'New York'}

del my_dict['city']

print(my_dict)

# Output: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}


4. Check if a key exists in a dictionary

# Example 4: Check if a key exists

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

if 'age' in my_dict:

print("Key exists")

# Output: Key exists

5. Iterate over dictionary keys

# Example 5: Iterate over keys

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

for key in my_dict:

print(key)

# Output: name, age

6. Iterate over dictionary values

# Example 6: Iterate over values

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

for value in my_dict.values():

print(value)

# Output: Alice, 25
7. Iterate over dictionary key-value pairs

# Example 7: Iterate over key-value pairs

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

for key, value in my_dict.items():

print(key, value)

# Output: name Alice, age 25

8. Merge two dictionaries

# Example 8: Merge two dictionaries

dict1 = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

dict2 = {'city': 'New York', 'country': 'USA'}

my_dict = {**dict1, **dict2}

print(my_dict)

# Output: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'city': 'New York', 'country': 'USA'}

9. Clear all items from a dictionary

# Example 9: Clear a dictionary

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25, 'city': 'New York'}

my_dict.clear()

print(my_dict)
# Output: {}

10. Get a value with a default

# Example 10: Get a value with default

my_dict = {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 25}

age = my_dict.get('age', 30)

height = my_dict.get('height', 170)

print(age, height)

# Output: 25 170
