What is the method for iterating over dictionaries in Python?
There are a few ways to iterate through a dictionary in Python.
- list of keys
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
for key in my_dict.keys():
print(key, my_dict[key])
- list()
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
for value in my_dict.values():
print(value)
- – elements in a collection
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
for key, value in my_dict.items():
print(key, value)
- You can use list comprehension to convert the keys, values, or key-value pairs of a dictionary into a list, and then iterate over them. Below is an example code:
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
keys = [key for key in my_dict.keys()]
values = [value for value in my_dict.values()]
items = [(key, value) for key, value in my_dict.items()]
These methods can be chosen based on actual needs to complete the traversal of the dictionary.
