Dictionaries (2/2)

Let's consider some useful methods for dictionaries:

  • len(d) - returns length of dictionary d (number of pairs key:value);
  • min(d), max(d) - minimum or maximum of keys of dictionary d;
  • d.copy() - returns copy of dictionary d;
  • d.items() - returns all pairs (key, value) in dictionary d;
  • d.keys() - returns all keys of dictionary d;
  • d.values() - returns all values of dictionary d;
  • d[k] = e - set value e to key k.

For example, traditionally, let's update our dictionary so it will contain two more countries:

CountryAreaPopulation
Brazil8515767212559417
India31663911380004385
123456
# old dictionary countries_dict = {'USA': (9629091, 331002651), 'Canada': (9984670, 37742154), 'Germany': (357114, 83783942)} # update dictionary with countries countries_dict["Brazil"] = (8515767, 212559417) countries_dict["India"] = (3166391, 1380004385) print(countries_dict)
copy
