PRACTICAL 7
Problem Statement: Write Python program to
1. Demonstrate working with dictionaries in python (create, add, update, print, length, pop,
copy).

2. sort (ascending and descending) a dictionary by keys, values and items.

3. combine two dictionary adding values for common keys.

d1={'a':100,'b':200,'c':300}
d2={'a':300,'b':200,'d':400}

4. apply dictionary comprehension to convert the item prices of a shopping list from dollars
to pounds.

5. apply dictionary comprehension to write odd or even as per the age value.

PRACTICAL 7

Sequence: Dictionary (create, access, update, delete)

Date of Experiment: 17-09-2022 Date of Submission:

a. Questions based on Experiment Scenario:

1. Describe the features of dictionary.
Ans.
• Dictionaries are unordered: it contains key-value pairs but does not possess an order
for pair. It is an unordered collection of key-value pairs.
• Keys are unique: Dictionary keys are unique as they are used to access values in
dictionary. Dictionary does not allow creating duplicate key but if you make duplicate
key it will not warn you. It will overwrite the value for that key.
• Keys must be immutable: String and numbers are used data types for dictionary keys.
• Dictionary comprehension: It is method of writing dictionary with writing key-value
pair in curly braces.

2. Describe various dictionary methods.
Ans.
• clear(): Removes all element from dictionary
• copy(): Returns a copy of dictionary
• fromkeys(): returns dictionary with specified keys and value
• get(): returns the value of specified key
• items(): returns list containing tuple for each key value pair
• keys(): returns list containing dictionary keys
• popitem(): removes last inserted key-value pair
• pop(): removes element with specified key
• update(): updates the dictionary

3. Multiple Choice
1. What will list(d.keys()) return?
d = {'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3}
a. [1,2,3]
d. [‘A’,’B’,’C’]
b. ‘A’,’B’,’C’
c. [A, B, C]
d. [‘A’,’B’,’C’]
2. How would one delete the entry with key 'A'?
d = {'A': 1, 'B': 2, 'C': 3}
a. d.delete(‘A’:1)
c. del d[‘A’]
b. d.delete(‘A’)
c. del d[‘A’]
d. del d[‘A’:1]
3. What is the result of the following code?
d = {}
c. 5
d[1] = 1
d['1'] = 2

d[1] = 3
sum = 0
for i in d:

'3': 'Biology'}
print(course['1']) a. Physics
a. Physics
b. Chemistry
c. None
d. KeyError

print('EMPLOYEE UPDATED: ',nm_emp)

OUTPUT:

c. Conclusion (Learning Outcomes): It can be concluded that one can use dictionary to store
data in key-value manner. The learning from the practical was about introducing dictionary,
creating dictionary, operations like update, del, pop and popitems on dictionary were
performed and loop was also used on dictionary. Dictionary also has comprehension like
list to create dictionary using conditions.
