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 Dictionaryprint(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.
