In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to use Python dictionary values() method with the help of multiple Python code examples.
Introduction: Python Dictionary values() Method
This method is used to return a view object having a list of all the values(not keys) of specified Python dictionary.
Syntax of values() Method
dictionaryName.values()
- Python dictionary values method does not take any arguments.
- It returns a view object having a list of all the values(not keys) of dictionary.
Example 1: Get All Values from Python Dictionary
dictItems={'color':'green','number':2345,'place':'Havelian'}
print(dictItems.values())Output
dict_values(['green', 2345, 'Havelian'])
As you can see here, all the values(from key, value pairs of dictionary) are returned.
Example 2: values() Method Response to Updated Dictionary
dictItems={'color':'green','number':2345,'place':'Havelian'}
values=dictItems.values()
print(values)
dictItems['nearBy']='Abbottabad' // add item to dictionary
print(values)Output
dict_values(['green', 2345, 'Havelian']) // before updating dictionary dict_values(['green', 2345, 'Havelian', 'Abbottabad']) // after updating dictionary
Any updates made to the list will be reflected on the view object(values) as well. Reason is that it does not return a list of items, but just returns a view of all the values of specified dictionary.
Example 3: values() Method Return all Values
dictItems={'color':'green','place':'Havelian'}
returnedValue=dictItems.values()
print(returnedValue)Output
dict_values(['green', 'Havelian'])
As you can see that this method returned a view object having a list of all values(not keys) of the specified dictionary.
