Python includes following dictionary methods −

[Link] Methods with Description

1 [Link]()
Removes all elements of dictionary dict

2 [Link]()
Returns a shallow copy of dictionary dict

3 fromkeys(seq[, v])

Returns a new dictionary with keys from seq and value equal to v
(defaults to None).

4 [Link](key, default=None)
For key key, returns value or default if key not in dictionary

get(key[,d]) Returns the value of the key. If the key does not exist,
returns d (defaults to None).

5 dict.has_key(key)
Returns true if key in dictionary dict, false otherwise

6 [Link]()
Returns a list of dict's (key, value) tuple pairs

7 [Link]()
Returns list of dictionary dict's keys

8 [Link](key, default=None)
Similar to get(), but will set dict[key]=default if key is not already in dict

9 [Link](dict2)
[Link] Methods with Description

Adds dictionary dict2's key-values pairs to dict

10 [Link]()
Returns list of dictionary dict's values

pop(key[,d])

Removes the item with the key and returns its value or d if key is not
found. If d is not provided and the key is not found, it raises KeyError.

popitem() Removes and returns an arbitrary item (key, value). Raises

KeyError if the dictionary is empty.

setdefault(key[,d]) Returns the corresponding value if the key is in the

dictionary. If not, inserts the key with a value of d and returns d (defaults
to None).

update([other]) Updates the dictionary with the key/value pairs from

other, overwriting existing keys.
Python includes following list methods -
[Link] Methods with Description

1 [Link](obj)
Appends object obj to list

2 [Link](obj)
Returns count of how many times obj occurs in list

3 [Link](seq)
Appends the contents of seq to list

4 [Link](obj)
Returns the lowest index in list that obj appears

5 [Link](index, obj)
Inserts object obj into list at offset index

6 [Link](obj=list[-1])
Removes and returns last object or obj from list

7 [Link](obj)
Removes object obj from list

8 [Link]()
Reverses objects of list in place

[Link]([func])
Sorts objects of list, use compare func if given
Python includes following Set methods -
add() Adds an element to the set

clear() Removes all elements from the set

copy() Returns a copy of the set

difference() Returns the difference of two or more sets as a new set

difference_update() Removes all elements of another set from this set

discard() Removes an element from the set if it is a member. (Do nothing if

the element is not in set)

intersection() Returns the intersection of two sets as a new set

intersection_update() Updates the set with the intersection of itself and

another
isdisjoint() Returns True if two sets have a null intersection

issubset() Returns True if another set contains this set

issuperset() Returns True if this set contains another set

pop() Removes and returns an arbitrary set element. Raises KeyError if the set
is empty

remove() Removes an element from the set. If the element is not a member,
raises a KeyError

symmetric_difference() Returns the symmetric difference of two sets as a

new set

symmetric_difference_update() Updates a set with the symmetric difference

of itself and another

union() Returns the union of sets in a new set

update() Updates the set with the union of itself and others
Python includes the following built-in methods to manipulate
strings −
[Link] Function & Description

Counts how many times str occurs in string or in a substring of string if
starting index beg and ending index end are given.

4 decode(encoding='UTF-8',errors='strict')
Decodes the string using the codec registered for encoding. encoding
defaults to the default string encoding.

Expands tabs in string to multiple spaces; defaults to 8 spaces per tab if

tabsize not provided.

8 find(str, beg=0 end=len(string))

Determine if str occurs in string or in a substring of string if starting index
beg and ending index end are given returns index if found and -1
otherwise.

9 index(str, beg=0, end=len(string))
