Lists Tuples and Dictionaries

Lists

List is a non-homogeneous data structure which stores the elements in single row and multiple rows and columns.

Benifit of list over simple python variable is that python you can store multiple type of values in a single variable.

Some important things to remember about lists are :

                   1.  List can be represented by [ ]

                    2. List allows duplicate elements

                    3. List can use nested among all

                    4. Example: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

                    5. List is mutable i.e we can make any changes in list.

Following code will create a simple empty python list

lst = []

to access elements,type name of element and then index (Index start from 0)

e.g Assume

lst = ["Alex",12,13,"usman",15,18]

Now lets say you want to grab alex so you can use

print(lst[0])

If you want to grab multiple values you can use slicing.

For example if you want to grab Alex,12 and 13 you can write

print(lst[0:3])

and it will output : Alex,12,13

Below are some list methods which you can use

Tuples

Tuple is also a non-homogeneous data structure which stores single row and multiple rows and columns

                    1. Tuple can be represented by  ( )

                    2. Tuple allows duplicate elements

                    3. Tuple can use nested among all

                    4. Example: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

                    5. Tuple can be created using tuple() function.

Tuple  is immutable i.e we can not make any changes in tuple

Following code will create an empty Tuple

Picking elements on basis of index and doing slicing is same as lists which is defined above.

Dictionaries

Dictionary is also a non-homogeneous data structure which stores key value pairs

                    1. Dictionary  can be represented by { }

                    2. Dictionary will not allow duplicate elements but keys are not duplicated

                    3. Dictonary can use nested among all

                    4. Example: {1 : "usman", 2 : "ali"}

                    5. Dictonary can be created using dict() function.

                    6. Dictionary is mutable. But Keys are not duplicated.

                    7. Dictionary is ordered

                    8. Creating an empty dictionary

                    9. dictionary={}

Examples

# Dictonary
d = {}
 
# Adding the key value pair
d[1] = "One"
d[2] = "Two"
print("Dictonary", d)
 
# Removing key-value pair
del d[2]
print("Dictonary", d)

#output
'''
{
1 : "One"
}
'''

To get keys of dictionaries use dict.keys(), to get values of dictionary use dict.values()
