bookPop() Method

Dictionaries also have a pop() method that removes a key-value pair by its key and returns its value. If the specified key isn't found in the dictionary, a KeyError exception is raised.

The syntax is:


              
12345

            
fruits = { 'apple': 2, 'orange': 3, 'grapes': 4 }
first_element = fruits.pop('apple')

print(fruits)
print(first_element)
copy

In the following example, a KeyError exception will be raised since the dictionary does not contain the key 'guava'.


              
12

            
dict_1 = { 'apple': 2, 'orange': 3, 'grapes': 4 }
element = dict_1.pop('guava')
copy

Task

Consider this dictionary:

You need to remove the entries with the keys 1, 5, and 6 using the pop() method.
