Initialize an Empty Dictionary in Python

Initialize an Empty Dictionary in Python

Dictionary in Python is an unordered collection of data values, used to store data values like a map, which unlike other Data Types that hold only a single value as an element, Dictionary holds key:value pair. Key-value is provided in the dictionary to make it more optimized.

Now, Let’s see the different ways to create an Empty Dictionary.

Method 1: Use of { } symbol.

We can create an empty dictionary object by giving no elements in curly brackets in the assignment statement

Code:

{}
Length: 0
<class 'dict'>

Method 2: Use of dict() built-in function.

Empty dictionary is also created by dict() built-in function without any arguments.

Code:

{}
Length: 0
<class 'dict'>
