Python Dictionary items() method
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 single value as an element, Dictionary holds key : value pair.
In Python Dictionary, items() method is used to return the list with all dictionary keys with values.
Syntax: dictionary.items()
Parameters: This method takes no parameters.
Returns: A view object that displays a list of a given dictionary’s (key, value) tuple pair.
Example #1:
- Python3
# Python program to show working # of items() method in Dictionary # Dictionary with three items Dictionary1 = { 'A' : 'Geeks' , 'B' : 4 , 'C' : 'Geeks' } print ( "Dictionary items:" ) # Printing all the items of the Dictionary print (Dictionary1.items()) |
Output:
Dictionary items: dict_items([('A', 'Geeks'), ('B', 4), ('C', 'Geeks')])
Order of these items in the list may not always be same.
Example #2: To show working of items() after modification of Dictionary.
- Python3
# Python program to show working # of items() method in Dictionary # Dictionary with three items Dictionary1 = { 'A' : 'Geeks' , 'B' : 4 , 'C' : 'Geeks' } print ( "Original Dictionary items:" ) items = Dictionary1.items() # Printing all the items of the Dictionary print (items) # Delete an item from dictionary del [Dictionary1[ 'C' ]] print ( 'Updated Dictionary:' ) print (items) |
Output:
Original Dictionary items: dict_items([('A', 'Geeks'), ('C', 'Geeks'), ('B', 4)]) Updated Dictionary: dict_items([('A', 'Geeks'), ('B', 4)])
If the Dictionary is updated anytime, the changes are reflected in the view object automatically.
