    Python Tuples and Dictionaries

    Tuples are like lists but immutable. They use parentheses and a single element tuple requires a trailing comma. Dictionaries store key-value pairs in curly brackets and allow updating and accessing values by key. Tuples cannot be modified but support many list methods while dictionaries are mutable and allow adding, updating, and removing key-value pairs. Both tuples and dictionaries are unordered.

    PYTHON TUPLES

    AND DICTIONARIES
    TUPLES
    Tuples
    Same as lists but
    ◦ Immutable
    ◦ Enclosed in parentheses
    ◦ A tuple with a single element must have a comma inside the parentheses:
    ◦ a = (11,)
    Examples
    >>> mytuple = (11, 22, 33)
    >>> mytuple[0]
    11
    >>> mytuple[-1]
    33
    >>> mytuple[0:1]
    (11,)
    The comma is required!
    Tuples are immutable
    >>> mytuple = (11, 22, 33)
    >>> saved = mytuple
    >>> mytuple += (44,)
    >>> mytuple
    (11, 22, 33, 44)
    >>> saved
    (11, 22, 33)
    Things that do not work
    mytuple += 55
    Traceback (most recent call last):Z
    …
    TypeError:
    can only concatenate tuple (not "int") to tuple
    ◦ Can understand that!
    Sorting tuples
    >>> atuple = (33, 22, 11)
    >>> atuple.sort()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    …
    AttributeError:
    'tuple' object has no attribute 'sort'
    >>> atuple = sorted(atuple)
    >>> atuple Tuples are immutable!
    [11, 22, 33]

    sorted( ) returns a list!


    Most other things work!
    >>> atuple = (11, 22, 33)
    >>> len(atuple)
    3
    >>> 44 in atuple
    False
    DICTIONARIES
    VERY USEFUL!
    Dictionaries in python
    •A dictionary is a collection which is unordered,
    changeable and indexed.
    •In Python dictionaries are written with curly
    brackets, and they have keys and values.
    Dictionaries (I)
    Store pairs of entries called items
    { 'CS' : '743-713-3350', 'UHPD' : '713-743-3333'}
    Each pair of entries contains
    ◦ A key
    ◦ A value

    Key and values are separated by a colon


    Paris of entries are separated by commas
    Dictionary is enclosed within curly braces
    Usage
    Keys must be unique within a dictionary
    ◦ No duplicates

    If we have
    age = {'Alice' : 25, 'Bob' :28}
    then
    age['Alice'] is 25
    and
    age[Bob'] is 28
    Dictionaries are mutable
    >>> age = {'Alice' : 25, 'Bob' : 28}
    >>> saved = age
    >>> age['Bob'] = 29
    >>> age
    {'Bob': 29, 'Alice': 25}
    >>> saved
    {'Bob': 29, 'Alice': 25}
    Keys must be unique
    >>> age = {'Alice' : 25, 'Bob' : 28, 'Alice' : 26}
    >>> age
    {'Bob': 28, 'Alice': 26}
    Displaying contents
    thisdict = { "Name": "ABC", "Gender": "Female", "age": 25 }
    #Accessing Items
    thisdict["age"] = 34
    print(thisdict)
    Updating directories
    >>> age = {'Alice': 26 , 'Carol' : 22}
    >>> age.update({'Bob' : 29})
    >>> age
    {'Bob': 29, 'Carol': 22, 'Alice': 26}
    >>> age.update({'Carol' : 23})
    >>> age
    {'Bob': 29, 'Carol': 23, 'Alice': 26}
    Returning a value
    >>> age = {'Bob': 29, 'Carol': 23, 'Alice': 26}
    >>> age.get('Bob')
    29
    >>> age['Bob']
    29
    Removing a specific
    item (I)
    >>> a = {'Alice' : 26, 'Carol' : 'twenty-two'}
    >>> a
    {'Carol': 'twenty-two', 'Alice': 26}
    >>> a.pop('Carol’)
    'twenty-two'
    >>> a
    {'Alice': 26}
    Removing a specific
    item (II)
    >>> a.pop('Alice')
    26
    >>> a
    {}
    >>>
    Clear Command
    clear() keyword empties a dictionary
    Make a copy of a dictionary with the copy() method
    To understand whether a key element is present in a dictionary use in
    keyword.
    Remove a random item
    >>> age = {'Bob': 29, 'Carol': 23, 'Alice': 26}
    >>> age.popitem()
    ('Bob', 29)
    >>> age
    {'Carol': 23, 'Alice': 26}
    >>> age.popitem()
    ('Carol', 23)
    >>> age
    {'Alice': 26}
    Summary
    Strings, lists, tuples, sets and dictionaries all deal with aggregates
    Two big differences
    ◦ Lists and dictionaries are mutable
    ◦ Unlike strings, tuples and sets
    ◦ Strings, lists and tuples are ordered
    ◦ Unlike sets and dictionaries
    Mutable aggregates
    Can modify individual items
    ◦ x = [11, 22, 33]
    x[0] = 44
    will work

    Cannot save current value


    ◦ x = [11,22, 33]
    y=x
    will not work
    Immutable aggregates
    Cannot modify individual items
    ◦ s = 'hello!'
    s[0] = 'H'
    is an ERROR

    Can save current value


    ◦ s= 'hello!'
    t=s
    will work
    Ordered aggregates
    Entities in the collection can be accessed through a numerical index
    ◦ s= 'Hello!'
    s[0]
    ◦ x = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Carol']
    x[-1]
    ◦ t = (11, 22)
    t[1]
    Other aggregates
    Cannot index sets
    ◦ myset = {'Apples', 'Bananas', 'Oranges'} myset[0] is WRONG

    Can only index dictionaries through their keys


    ◦ age = {'Bob': 29, 'Carol': 23, 'Alice': 26}
    age['Alice'] works
    age[0] is WRONG
