Answer 1

Answer is pop() method

Syntax : dictionary.pop(key, def)

Parameters :
key : The key whose key-value pair has to be returned and removed.
def : The default value to return if specified key is not present.

• So in this method if key is present in the dictionary then associated value with that key is returned
• If key is not there then the default value that we pass as second parameters will be returned ..
• Error will be there if key is not present and default value not specified .

and that key -value pair is removed from the dictionary .

For example

test_dict = { "John" : 7, "Mak" : 1, "Akshay" : 2 }

test_dict.pop('Akshay')

Output

Returned value is 2

and test_dict = { "John" : 7, "Mak" : 1}
