-Operations on Dictionary in Python-

 Think of a few scenarios in which we can use a dictionary? 

. So, today we will see how we can use the dictionary to maintain a database of Countries and their capitals.

 When we create a database, what are the operations we expect to do on it? 

 ● Insert

 ● Delete

 ● Display

 ● search

 Let us see the functions/methods, which help us in doing these.

writes code on IDLE Create a dictionary of countries and their capitals.









 Print the countries in the dictionary.



 Note: Explain how the use of the list is displaying keys as a normal list 

Print the capitals stored in the dictionary. 






Note:  The use of the list is displaying values as a normal list 

Get the capital of India from a dictionary using the get() function.





 Create an empty dictionary and start an infinite while loop. 






Print the menu to maintain a country-capital repository and get user choice. 









 Check if the choice entered is 1, the get country, capital as user input , and insert these values into the dictionary.








Check if the choice entered is 3 and print all capitals as a list. 






Check if the choice entered is 4, get as the user input a country and then print its capital. 





Check if the choice entered is 5, get as the user input a country and delete that from the dictionary.  






If the option entered is none of the above, exit from the program.

- Object Oriented Programming -

In OOP, we can represent an entity using a class.  A class bundles data (features/properties of entity - color, height, width) and functionality (movement, expression) together.  An instance of a class is known as an object.  Which is the only cartoon series that had predicted that Trump would be elected as the president of the USA and also predicted the coronavirus spread?   Answer: Simpsons.  Simpsons is a very popular animated show. You can build something similar with python.  But have you ever wondered, how Simpsons look the same in all the series? Only his movement looking and, expression change but his main features like color, height, and face look exactly the same all the time.  This is because we create a ‘blueprint’ of Simpsons and whenever we have to simulate him on screen we use this blueprint. This keeps a record of all the features of Simpsons and recreates it whenever we want.  This is where Object-Oriented Programming(OOP) h...

– Sequences, Algorithms and Programs in Python ---

 Before moving forward, Let's learn how to install Python software in your System which is very important for the further understanding of these topics. Imagine, you are a regular customer of Uncle Sam’s Pizza restaurant, can you help Uncle Sam prepare the menu and take a printout of it? Which application will you use for that? You will type the menu using MS word and then take a printout of it. right?  So, you know that we can use MS Word to create documents. Similarly, if you want to write a python program, you need an IDE (Integrated development environment). This IDE helps you to write a python program and then run it so that you can see the result/output of the program.  Steps to install python/IDE in your local system. (Windows /MAC )   Note : Prerequisite for installing python in Windows- Windows 8 or above. go to this website .   1. Click on download python as per your OS. Mac users may download the Mac version. Windows users download depending on 32-bit...

-List Slicing in Python-

 List Slicing : Slicing helps in creating a new list from an existing list.  Syntax list_name [start :end:step] Suppose you have a list of Avengers, arranged in the order of your preference.   avengers=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”,”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”,”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”] Later you decide to split them into a separate list like  favourite=[“Iron Man”,”Thor”,”Hulk”]                                                   less_favourite =[”Spider Man”,”Captain America”,”Black Panther”]                             least_favourite=[”Hawk Eye”,”Vision”,”Black Widow”]  Now, we have 3 lists formed from the main list. Would you want to create these lists again from the beginning? This is where list slicing helps us. Here is the code to  G...
