Python’s built-in dict()<\/code> function creates and returns a new dictionary object from the comma-separated argument list of key = value<\/code> mappings. For example, dict(name = 'Alice', age = 22, profession = 'programmer')<\/code> creates a dictionary with three mappings: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 22, 'profession': 'programmer'}<\/code>. A dictionary is an unordered and mutable data structure, so it can be changed after creation.<\/p>\n

Usage<\/h2>\n

Learn by example! Here are some examples of how to use the dict()<\/code> built-in function<\/a>:<\/p>\n

>>> dict(name = 'Alice')\n{'name': 'Alice'}\n>>> dict(name = 'Alice', age = 22)\n{'name': 'Alice', 'age': 22}\n>>> dict(name = 'Alice', age = 22, profession = 'programmer')\n{'name': 'Alice', 'age': 22, 'profession': 'programmer'}<\/pre>\n
You can pass an arbitrary number of those comma-separated key = value<\/code> pairs into the dict()<\/code> constructor. <\/p>\n
