Aprenda Advanced Dictionary Techniques | Dictionaries and Key-Value Collections

When working with dictionaries in C#, you often need to update values, merge contents from multiple dictionaries, or handle situations where a key might not exist. Updating values in a dictionary is straightforward if you know the key exists: you can simply assign a new value to the desired key. However, if you are not sure whether a key is present, using methods like TryGetValue can help you avoid exceptions caused by missing keys.

Merging dictionaries is another common operation. When you want to combine two dictionaries, you must decide how to handle duplicate keys. You can choose to overwrite the existing value, skip the new value, or apply a custom rule for combining values. Handling missing keys gracefully and resolving conflicts during merging are essential for robust applications.

Program.cs


              1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829
            
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var capitals = new Dictionary<string, string>
            {
                { "USA", "Washington, D.C." },
                { "France", "Paris" },
                { "Japan", "Tokyo" }
            };

            string searchCountry = "Germany";
            if (capitals.TryGetValue(searchCountry, out string capital))
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"The capital of {searchCountry} is {capital}.");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"No capital found for {searchCountry}.");
            }
        }
    }
}

When you need to merge two dictionaries, you can use a loop to add entries from one dictionary into another. If a key already exists, you must decide whether to overwrite the value or keep the original. One common approach is to overwrite the existing value with the new one, ensuring that the merged dictionary has the latest data for each key.

Program.cs


              123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930
            
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace ConsoleApp
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var scores = new Dictionary<string, int>
            {
                { "Alice", 80 },
                { "Bob", 90 },
                { "Charlie", 85 }
            };

            var keys = new List<string>(scores.Keys);
            foreach (var name in keys)
            {
                scores[name] = scores[name] + 10;
            }

            foreach (var kvp in scores)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"{kvp.Key}: {kvp.Value}");
            }
        }
    }
}
