Dictionary Methods in Python
Dictionaries have many helpful methods for accessing, modifying, and working with key-value data. These methods make dictionaries very powerful for real-world tasks.
All methods are safe and return new values where needed – they can modify the dictionary in place or return views.
keys(), values(), items() – Views of Content
These return view objects (like dynamic lists) of keys, values, or key-value pairs.
get() – Safe Access
get(key, default) returns value or default if key missing – no KeyError.
update() – Merge or Update
pop() and popitem()
pop(key) removes and returns value. popitem() removes and returns last inserted pair.
copy() and clear()
