Using the pop() Method: Deleting Elements with Return Values

The pop() method in Python dictionaries allows you to remove a key-value pair based on its key and returns the corresponding value. This method is particularly useful when you need to extract and process a value while simultaneously removing it from the dictionary.

The syntax is:

python

              
123456789101112

            
book = {
    "title": "Pride and Prejudice",
    "author": "Jane Austen",
    "year": 1813,
    "copies": 5
}

# Remove the 'copies' key and retrieve its value
removed_copies = book.pop("copies")

print("Updated dictionary:", book)
print("Removed value:", removed_copies)
copy

If the key does not exist in the dictionary, Python raises a KeyError exception.


              
12345678

            
book = {
    "title": "Pride and Prejudice",
    "author": "Jane Austen",
    "year": 1813
}

# Attempting to remove a non-existent key
removed_genre = book.pop("genre")
copy

You are given the same dictionary authors_books.

  • Remove "Stephen King"'s books from the dictionary and save them in the variable kings_books.
  • Use the pop() method to accomplish this.
