3.3.2 Common Dictionary Methods (keys / values / items)

Dictionaries provide built-in methods to inspect and access their contents.


keys()

The keys() method:

  • Returns all keys in the dictionary
  • Can be used for iteration or inspection

values()

The values() method:

  • Returns all values stored in the dictionary
  • Preserves the dictionary’s internal order

items()

The items() method:

  • Returns key–value pairs
  • Is commonly used when both keys and values are needed

📌 Note:
These methods return view objects that reflect changes in the dictionary.
