For learning to do changes in, let’s begin by creating two dictionaries:
>>> readbooks = {} # This is empty
>>> sandwich = {'Slices bread': 4, 'Lettuce leaves': 1, 'Slices tomato': 2, 'Tablespoons mayonnaise': 2, 'Slices prosciutto': 2, 'Grilled chicken pieces': 'some ones'}
If we want to add a pair key-value, we must use the next syntaxis:
dictionary[key] = value
>>> readbooks
{}
>>> readbooks['The Little Prince'] = True
>>> readbooks
{'The Little Prince': True}
And if we create a new key with existing name, the new pair replaces the existing (which can be used for quickly changing the value of a key):
>>> readbooks['The Little Prince'] = False
>>> readbooks
{'The Little Prince': False}
If we want to delete a pair:
del dictionary[key]
>>> sandwich
{'Slices bread': 4, 'Tablespoons mayonnaise': 2, 'Lettuce leaves': 1,
'Grilled chicken pieces': 'some ones', 'Slices tomate': 2,
'Slices prosciutto': 2}
>>> del sandwich['Grilled chicken pieces']
>>> sandwich
{'Slices bread': 4, 'Tablespoons mayonnaise': 2, 'Lettuce leaves': 1,
'Slices tomate': 2, 'Slices prosciutto': 2}
For deleting a whole dictionary:
del dictionary
>>> del sandwich
>>> sandwich
