Python provides several built-in methods for dictionaries that allow you to manipulate and work with dictionary objects. Here are some commonly used dictionary methods in Python:
clear()
: Removes all key-value pairs from the dictionary.copy()
: Returns a shallow copy of the dictionary.get(key, default)
: Returns the value associated with the specified key. If the key is not found, it returns the default value.items()
: Returns a list of key-value pairs as tuples.keys()
: Returns a list of all keys in the dictionary.values()
: Returns a list of all values in the dictionary.pop(key, default)
: Removes and returns the value associated with the specified key. If the key is not found, it returns the default value.popitem()
: Removes and returns an arbitrary key-value pair from the dictionary as a tuple.update(other_dict)
: Updates the dictionary with key-value pairs from another dictionary or an iterable of key-value pairs.setdefault(key, default)
: Returns the value associated with the specified key. If the key is not found, it inserts the key with the default value into the dictionary and returns the default value.fromkeys(keys, value)
: Creates a new dictionary with keys from a specified iterable and values set to a specified value.len()
: Returns the number of key-value pairs in the dictionary.clear()
: Removes all key-value pairs from the dictionary.
