-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.

- Animating characters using pygame -

If you see closely you can see that the mickey mouse animation is made out of a lot of shapes. But to create something like this we need to make a very complex code. The other way around it is to use an image, other than the basic shapes, pygame also can show images. Using images : Steps to use images in my game: > find the image you want to use > move it to the directory where you have created your code > import/load image To load the image we will first create an object and then use the image. load method to add the image to the object. here, we have created an object called an image. We then use the "pygame.image.load" to find the file in the directory ocean.png has to be replaced with the filename of your file. To place the object on a particular point of the screen we use the blit function. this function means that we are going to add the image onto the screen at position 0,0 mickey mouse is winking Usi...

- 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...

-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...
