Python chapter 6 learning notes

  A simple dictionary

1 2	alien_0  =  { 'color' :  'green' , 'point' :  5 } print (alien_0[ 'color' ]) #使用大括号

The window will show green.

l  Using dictionary

n  Add key-value pair

For example,

1 2 3 4 5 6

alien_0  =  { 'color' :  'green' , 'point' :  5 } print (alien_0[ 'color' ])    alien_0[ 'x_position' ]  =  0 alien_0[ 'y_position' ]  =  25 print (alien_0)

The window will show

1	{ 'color' :  'green' ,  'point' :  5 ,  'x_position' :  0 ,  'y_position' :  25 }

• • Modify the key-value pair

1	alien_0[ 'color' ]  =  'yellow'

• • Delete the key-value pair

Use del is OK.

For example,

1	del  alien_0[ 'points' ]

Dictionary will not include points.

• • Dictionary just like struct in C language.

  • The dictionary which consists of many objects:

For example,

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

favorite_languages  =  { 'David' :  'python' , 'Jane'  :  'java' , 'John'  :  'C' , 'Sarah'  :  'ruby' , 'Michel'  :  'swift'  }    print ( "David's favorite languages is "  +  favorite_languages[ 'David' ].title()  +  "." )

It will show,

1	David's favorite languages  is  Python.

Remember the format!

l  Ergodic dictionary

n  Ergodic all key-value pairs

Method: items(): items()方法用于返回字典dict的(key，value)元组对的列表

• • Ergodic all keys

Method: keys():返回字典dict的键列表

For example,

1 2 3 4 5

for  name  in  favorite_languages.keys(): print (name.title()  +   "." ) But  if  we use for  name  in  favorite_languages: print (name.title()  +   "." )

They all have same output.

n  Ergodic all values

n  Method: values():返回字典dict的值列表

As we all know, the list of value may have same values, then ,how to keep only one value?

We can use set(). For example,

1 2	for  language  in  set (favorite_languages.values()): print (language.title())

n  Nesting: 将一系列字典存储在列表中，或将列表作为值存储在字典中，这被称为嵌套。
