items(): a view object displaying a list of a dictionary's key-value pairs as tuples

my_dict={'a':'One','b':'Two','c':'Three'}
x=my_dict.items()
print(x)
print(type(x))

dict_items([('a', 'One'), ('b', 'Two'), ('c', 'Three')])
<class 'dict_items'>

Matching value and showing key

my_dict = {"a": "One", "b": "Two", "c": "Three"}
for i, j in my_dict.items():
    if j == "Two":
        print(i, j) # b Two

View object

my_dict={'a':'One','b':'Two','c':'Three'}
x=my_dict.items()
print(x)
del(my_dict['b']) # deleted one item with key b
print(x)

dict_items([('a', 'One'), ('b', 'Two'), ('c', 'Three')])
dict_items([('a', 'One'), ('c', 'Three')])

Loop Through a Dictionary Using items() Method

The items() method allows us to iterate over both keys and values in a dictionary.

Example Code

my_dict = {
    "name": "Alice",
    "age": 25,
    "city": "New York"
}

# Loop through dictionary and display key-value pairs
for key, value in my_dict.items():
    print(key, "=>", value)

Expected Output

name => Alice
age => 25
city => New York

Explanation

• my_dict.items(): Returns key-value pairs from the dictionary.
• for key, value in my_dict.items(): Iterates over each pair.
• print(key, "=>", value): Displays the key and its corresponding value.

Use Case

This method is useful for processing data stored in dictionaries, such as user details, configuration settings, or database records.
