Dictionary (dict)

In Python, a dictionary is a built-in data type used to store collections of key-value pairs. It's like a real-life dictionary where you look up a word (the key) to find its definition (the value). Let's explore this concept with a real-life example:

Imagine you have a contacts list where you store information about your friends. Each friend has a name (the key) and their phone number (the value). You can use a Python dictionary to represent this contacts list:

In this dictionary:

• Each friend's name (e.g., "Alice", "Bob") is a key.

• Each friend's phone number (e.g., "555-1234", "555-5678") is the corresponding value.

Now, if you want to find Bob's phone number, you can simply look it up in the dictionary:

Output:

You can also add new contacts or update existing ones easily:

Output:

Task 1 - Create a Dictionary in Python and write it to a json File.

In this example:

• We import the json module, which provides functions for working with JSON data.

• We create a dictionary called my_dict containing some key-value pairs.

• We specify the file path where we want to save the JSON file (in this case, "my_dict.json").

• We use the open() function with the mode "w" (write mode) to open the file for writing.

• We use the json.dump() function to write the contents of my_dict to the JSON file.

• Finally, we print a message to confirm that the dictionary has been written to the JSON file.

After running this code, you'll find a file named "my_dict.json" in the same directory as your Python script, containing the contents of the dictionary in JSON format.
