Q.#create a dictionary

dict1 = {'Fruit':'Apple', 'Climate':'Cold', 'Price(kg)':120}
print(dict1)
{'Fruit': 'Apple', 'Climate': 'Cold', 'Price(kg)': 120}
#getting value by specifying a key
print(dict1['Price(kg)'])
120

Shape: Code output prediction / explanation task.

The code creates a dictionary dict1 with three key-value pairs and then accesses one of them by key.

#create a dictionary
>>> dict1 = {'Fruit':'Apple', 'Climate':'Cold', 'Price(kg)':120}
>>> print(dict1)
{'Fruit': 'Apple', 'Climate': 'Cold', 'Price(kg)': 120}
#getting value by specifying a key
>>> print(dict1['Price(kg)'])
120

Expected Output:

{'Fruit': 'Apple', 'Climate': 'Cold', 'Price(kg)': 120}
120

Explanation of key lines:

The first print(dict1) displays the entire dictionary. Python dictionaries maintain insertion order (from Python 3.7+), so the output shows all three key-value pairs in the order they were defined. …

Understanding Dictionary Key Access

A Python dictionary stores data as key-value pairs, where each unique key maps to exactly one value. When you need to retrieve a specific piece of information, you use the key as an index — much like looking up a word in a real dictionary to find its definition.

The syntax dict1['Price(kg)'] tells Python: "Find the key 'Price(kg)' in dict1 and give me its associated value." This is direct access, not a search through all entries, which makes dictionaries extremely efficient for lookups.

Step-by-Step Execution

Creating the dictionary:

dict1 = {'Fruit':'Apple', 'Climate':'Cold', 'Price(kg)':120}

This initializes dict1 with three key-value pairs:

• 'Fruit' → 'Apple'
• 'Climate' → 'Cold'
• 'Price(kg)' → 120

Notice that keys are strings (even 'Price(kg)' with special characters is valid), while values can be strings, numbers, or any Python object.

Printing the entire dictionary:

print(dict1)

Output:

{'Fruit': 'Apple', 'Climate': 'Cold', 'Price(kg)': 120}

The dictionary displays in the same curly-brace format, though the order shown depends on your Python version (3.7+ maintains insertion order).

Accessing a specific value:

print(dict1['Price(kg)'])

Output:

120

The square-bracket notation dict1['Price(kg)'] retrieves the integer 120. Python looks up the key 'Price(kg)' in the dictionary's internal hash table and returns the corresponding value.
