What is a Python dictionary?

A Python dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. Each key must be unique and immutable (like strings, numbers, or tuples), while the values can be any Python object. Dictionaries are unordered and have no fixed capacity, making them flexible for storing data.

What does the len() function do in a dictionary?

The len() function in Python returns the number of elements in a dictionary. It counts the total number of key-value pairs within the dictionary.

What's the purpose of the del keyword in a dictionary?

The del keyword in Python is used to delete items from a dictionary. You can use it to remove a specific key-value pair by providing the key as an argument.

What does the break statement do in a loop?

The break statement is used to exit a loop prematurely, even if the loop's condition hasn't been met. It's useful when you need to stop the loop based on a specific event.

What does the continue statement do in a loop?

The continue statement is used to skip the current iteration of a loop and move directly to the next iteration. It helps avoid executing the rest of the loop's code for the current iteration.

What does the pass statement do in Python?

The pass statement acts as a placeholder. When placed inside a loop or conditional statement, it tells Python to do nothing. It is useful when you need to create a syntactically valid block of code without executing any logic.

How do you retrieve a value from a dictionary?

You can retrieve a value from a dictionary by using the square brackets [] and specifying the key associated with the desired value. For example, my_dict['key'] returns the value associated with the key 'key' in the dictionary my_dict.

Name examples of loop control statements.

Loop control statements in Python are statements used to control the flow of execution within loops. They allow you to modify the loop's behavior, such as skipping iterations, exiting early, or repeating sections of code.

What's the syntax for declaring a dictionary?

To declare a dictionary in Python, use curly braces {} and separate key-value pairs with colons : and commas ,.

For example: my_dict = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
