Here is an example of how you can create a dictionary.
#!/usr/bin/python3
dictionary = {
"foo": "Hello",
"bar": "World"
}
for key in dictionary:
print(f"{key} = {dictionary[key]}")
Which should print the following. Notice the output is not sorted alphabetically.
foo = Hello
bar = World
sorted can be used to sort the dictionary alphabetically.
#!/usr/bin/python3
dictionary = {
"foo": "Hello",
"bar": "World"
}
for key in sorted(dictionary):
print(f"{key} = {dictionary[key]}")
And now the output is sorted alphabetically.
bar = World
foo = Hello
