Dictionary in Python
Dictionaries are used to store data values in key:value pairs
ge
They are unordered, mutable(changeable) & don’t allow duplicate keys
le
Col
na
“key” : value
Ap
dict[”name”], dict[”cgpa”], dict[”marks”]
dict[”key”] = “value” #to assign or add new

Dictionary Methods
[Link]( ) #returns all keys
lege
ol
[Link]( ) #returns all values
na C
p
[Link]( ) #returns all (key, val) pairs as tuples
A
[Link]( “key““ ) #returns the key according to value
[Link]( newDict ) #inserts the specified items to the dictionary
Set in Python
Set is the collection of the unordered items.
ge
Each element in the set must be unique & immutable.
olle
nums = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
na C
set2 = { 1, 2, 2, 2 }
Ap
#repeated elements stored only once, so it resolved to {1, 2}
null_set = set( ) #empty set syntax
Set Methods
[Link]( el ) #adds an element
lege
ol
[Link]( el ) #removes the elem an
na C
p
[Link]( ) #empties the set
A
[Link]( ) #removes a random value
Set Methods
[Link]( set2 ) #combines both set values & returns new
lege
[Link]( set2 ) #combines common values & returns new

You are given a list of subjects for students. Assume one classroom is required for 1
subject. How many classrooms are needed by all students.
”python”, “java”, “C++”, “python”, “javascript”,
“java”, “python”, “java”, “C++”, “C”
Let‘s Practice
WAP to enter marks of 3 subjects from the user and store them in a dictionary. Start with
an empty dictionary & add one by one. Use subject name as key & marks as value.

Figure out a way to store 9 & 9.0 as separate values in the set.
(You can take help of built-in data types)
