how to use dictionaries in python

student_data = {
  "name":"inderpaal",
  "age":21,
  "course":['Bsc', 'Computer Science']
}

#the keys are the left hand side and the values are the right hand side
#to print data you do print(name_of_dictionary['key_name'])

print(student_data['name']) # will print 'inderpaal'
print(student_data['age']) # will print 21
print(student_data['course'])[0]
#this will print 'Bsc' since that field is an array and array[0] is 'Bsc'

dictionary in python

# Dictionaries in Python are used to store set of data like Key: Value pair

# the syntax of a dictionary in Python is very simple we use {} inside that
	# we define {Key: Value}, to separate multiple values we use','
programming_dictionary = {
    "Bug": "An error in a program that prevents the program from running as expected.",
  
    "Function": "A piece of code that you can easily call over and over again.",
  
  	"Loop": "The action of doing sommething again and again",
}
# to retrieve the values from a dictionary we use the Key name as an Index
# retrieving the Function's definition
print(programming_dictionary["Function"])	# this will print the definition of Function

# if you wanna print all the entries in the dictionary you can do that by for loop
for key in programming_dictionary:
  print(programming_dictionary[key])	# prints all entries
  
# adding items to a dictionary
# the following code will add another entry to the dictionary called Variable
programming_dictionary["Variable"] = "The label to store some sort of data"
print(programming_dictionary["Variable"])

# editing the values of a key 
# editing the value of variable
programming_dictionary["Variable"] = "Variables are nothing but reserved memory locations to store values. This means that when you create a variableyou reserve some space in memory"

python dict

# decleration
my_dict = {
  'spam': 'eggs',
  'foo': 4,
  100: 'bar',
  2: 0.5
}

# access single values from the dictionary
print(my_dict['spam']) # eggs
print(my_dict['foo']) # 4
print(my_dict[100]) # bar
print(my_dict[2]) # 0.5

# iterate over the dictionary
for key, value in my_dict.items():
  print(key, value)

# get length of the dictionary
print(len(my_dict)) # 4

# modify the dictionary
my_dict['baz'] = 'qux' # adds a pair
my_dict['baz'] = 'quxx' # also updates it
del my_dict['spam'] # removes a pair

# other methods
print(my_dict.copy()) # Returns a copy of the dictionary
print(my_dict.fromkeys('added', 100)) # Returns a dictionary with the specified keys and their values
print(my_dict.get('foo')) # Returns the value of the specified key
print(my_dict.items()) # Returns a list containing a tuple for each key value pair
print(my_dict.keys()) # Returns a list containing the dictionaries keys
print(my_dict.values()) # Returns a list of all the values in the dictionary
my_dict.setdefault('a', 'b') # Returns the value of the specified key. If the key does not exist: insert the key, with the specified value
my_dict.pop('foo') # Removes the element with the specified key
my_dict.popitem() # Removes the last inserted key-value pair
my_dict.update({'baz': 'val'}) # Updates the dictionary with the specified key-value pairs
my_dict.clear() # Removes all the elements from the dictionary
