Explain the dictionary in Python.
Answer / chaitanya
Python's built-in data type is dictionary, which defines one-to-one relationships between keys and values.
Dictionaries consist of pairs of keys and their corresponding values.
Dictionaries are indexed by keys.
Dictionary is similar to associative array or hash table of other languages.
As following example explains further- India, Angel & Cartoon are keys & their corresponding values are Bharat, Mother Teresa & Mickey respectively.
>>> dict = {'India': 'Bharat', 'Angel': ‘Mother Teresa’, 'Cartoon': 'Mickey'}
>>>print dict[India]
Bharat
>>>print dict[Angel]
Mother Teresa
