Python – Print Dictionary Values

Python – Print dictionary values

To print the values in a Python Dictionary,

1. Given a dictionary object my_dict.
2. Call values() method on the given dictionary object. The values() method returns an iterator over the values.
3. Now, you can convert this values iterator into a list and print the list of values, or use a For loop to iterate over the values iterator object and print each of the value individually.
4. If you choose to print the values as a list, pass the values iterator object as argument to the list() built-in function, and print the returned list to output. The task is completed.
5. Or, if you choose to print the values individually, write a For loop with the values iterator object. We iterate through the values in the dictionary.
6. For each value inside the loop, print the value. The task is completed.

Examples

1. Printing the values in given dictionary as a list in Python

We are given a Python dictionary in my_dict. We have to print the values of this dictionary.

We shall get the iterator to values in the dictionary using my_dict.values(), and pass the values iterator as argument to the list(). We will get the values in the dictionary as a list. Then we shall print this list of values to output using print() function.

my_dict = {
    'apple': 10,
    'banana': 20,
    'cherry':30
}

values = list(my_dict.values())
print(values)

Output

[10, 20, 30]

2. Printing values in the dictionary to output one by one using For loop

We are given a Python dictionary in my_dict. We have to print the values of this dictionary one by one using a For loop.

We shall get the iterator for the values in the dictionary using my_dict.values(), and use this values iterator object in a For loop. Inside the For loop, we shall print each value to the output using print().

my_dict = {
    'apple': 10,
    'banana': 20,
    'cherry':30
}

for value in my_dict.values():
    print(value)

Output

10
20
30

Summary

In this tutorial of Python Examples, we learned how to print the dictionary values as a list or one by one, with the help of well detailed examples.
