Exploring Methods to Iterate Through Dictionary Keys with 5 Examples

You can iterate over the keys in a dictionary using various methods in Python. Here are five examples:

  1. Using a for loop:
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

for key in my_dict:
    print(key)
  1. Using the keys() method:
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

for key in my_dict.keys():
    print(key)
  1. Using a comprehension:
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

keys = [key for key in my_dict]
print(keys)
  1. Using the iterkeys() method (Python 2):
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

for key in my_dict.iterkeys():
    print(key)
  1. Unpacking the dictionary directly:
my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

for key, value in my_dict.items():
    print(key)

All these methods achieve the same result of iterating over the keys of the dictionary.
