1. OrderedDict Creation

Write a Python program that creates an OrderedDict and adds some items. Print the OrderedDict contents.

Sample Solution:

Code:

from collections import OrderedDict

# Create an OrderedDict
ordered_dict = OrderedDict()

# Add items
ordered_dict['Laptop'] = 15
ordered_dict['Desktop'] = 40
ordered_dict['Mobile'] = 50

# Print the OrderedDict contents
for item, quantity in ordered_dict.items():
    print(f"Itemt: {item}, Quantity: {quantity}")

Output:

Itemt: Laptop, Quantity: 15
Itemt: Desktop, Quantity: 40
Itemt: Mobile, Quantity: 50

In the exercise above, we create an OrderedDict called "ordered_dict" and add some key-value pairs to it. Upon iterating through the OrderedDict, the items are printed in the same order as they were entered.

• Write a Python program to create an OrderedDict from a list of tuples and then iterate over it to print each key-value pair.
• Write a Python script to initialize an OrderedDict with several items, then print the keys in the order they were added.
• Write a Python program to create an empty OrderedDict, add items using update(), and then display its content.
• Write a Python function to create an OrderedDict from two lists (keys and values) and print the resulting dictionary.
