Dictionaries

Motivations for dictionaries

# Definition of countries and capital
countries = ['spain', 'france', 'germany', 'norway']
capitals = ['madrid', 'paris', 'berlin', 'oslo']

# Get index of 'germany': ind_ger
ind_ger = countries.index('germany')

# Use ind_ger to print out capital of Germany
print(capitals[ind_ger])

Create Dictionary

keys have to be “immutable” objects. cannot be list, for example.

# Definition of countries and capital
countries = ['spain', 'france', 'germany', 'norway']
capitals = ['madrid', 'paris', 'berlin', 'oslo']

# From string in countries and capitals, create dictionary europe
europe = {
   'spain':'madrid', 'france':'paris', 'germany':'berlin', 'norway':'oslo' }

# Print europe
print(europe)

Access Dictionary

# Definition of dictionary
europe = {
   'spain':'madrid', 'france':'paris', 'germany':'berlin', 'norway':'oslo' }

# Print out the keys in europe
print(europe.keys())

# Print out value that belongs to key 'norway'
print(europe['norway'])

List vs. Dictionary

List	Dictionary
Select, update, and remove with [ ]	select, updated and remove with [ ]
Indexed by range of numbers	indexed by unique keys

Dictionary Manipulation-add

# Definition of dictionary
europe = {
   'spain':'madrid', 'france':'paris', 'germany':'berlin', 'norway':'oslo' }

# Add italy to europe
europe['italy']
