7.5. Mapping Delitem

7.5.1. Pop Method

  • dict.pop(key) - removes and returns the item with the specified key from the dictionary

>>> data = {'firstname': 'Mark', 'lastname': 'Watney', 'age': 41}
>>>
>>> result = data.pop('age')
>>>
>>> print(result)
41
>>>
>>> print(data)
{'firstname': 'Mark', 'lastname': 'Watney'}

7.5.2. Popitem Method

  • dict.popitem() - removes and returns last item (key-value pair) from the dictionary

>>> data = {'firstname': 'Mark', 'lastname': 'Watney', 'age': 41}
>>>
>>> result = data.popitem()
>>>
>>> print(result)
('age', 41)
>>>
>>> print(data)
{'firstname': 'Mark', 'lastname': 'Watney'}

7.5.3. Clear

  • dict.clear() - removes all items from the dictionary

>>> data = {'firstname': 'Mark', 'lastname': 'Watney', 'age': 41}
>>>
>>> result = data.clear()
>>>
>>> print(result)
None
>>>
>>> print(data)
{}
