In this article, we will discuss how to get a list of values from a dictionary using Python.
Get list of values from dictionary using values() function
We can use a dictionary.values() along with the list() function to get the list. Here, the values() method is a dictionary method used to access the values from the key: value pairs and we are then converting the values to a list by using the list() function
Python3
# create a dictionarydata = {'manoja': 'java', 'tripura': 'python', 'manoj': 'statistics', 'manoji': 'cpp'}# get list of valueslist(data.values()) |
Output:
['java', 'python', 'statistics', 'cpp']
Get a list of values from a dictionary using a single asterisk( * ) and values() function
We can use [] along with * to get all list of dictionary values. Here values() is a dictionary method used to get the values from the key: value pair in the dictionary and * is used to get only values instead of getting dict_values and then we are getting into a list by using the list() function
Python3
data = {'manoja': 'java', 'tripura': 'python', 'manoj': 'statistics', 'manoji': 'cpp'}# get list of values[*data.values()] |
Output:
['java', 'python', 'statistics', 'cpp']
Get a list of values from a dictionary using a loop
In this method, we will use a Python loop to get the values of keys and append them to a new list called values and then we print it.
Python3
# create a dictionarydata = {'manoja': 'java', 'tripura': 'python', 'manoj': 'statistics', 'manoji': 'cpp'}key = ["manoj", "manoji", "tripura"]# get list of values using loopvalue = []for idx in key: value.append(data[idx])print(value) |
Output:
['statistics', 'cpp', 'python']
Get a list of values from a dictionary using List comprehension
Using List comprehension we can get the list of dictionary values. Here we are using a list comprehension to iterate in a dictionary by using an iterator. This will return each value from the key: value pair.
Python3
data = {'manoja': 'java', 'tripura': 'python', 'manoj': 'statistics', 'manoji': 'cpp'}# get list of values using comprehension[data[i] for i in data] |
Output:
['java', 'python', 'statistics', 'cpp']
Get a list of values from a dictionary using the map method
In this method, we will use a Python map method to get the values of keys and convert them to a list, and then print it.
Python3
# create a dictionarydata = {'manoja': 'java', 'tripura': 'python', 'manoj': 'statistics', 'manoji': 'cpp'}key = ["manoj", "manoji", "tripura"]# get list of values using mapvalue = list(map(data.get, keys))print(value) |
Output:
['statistics', 'cpp', 'python']
