python delete key from dictionary

del dictionary['key']

>>> # initialise a dictionary with the keys “city”, “name”, “food”
>>> person1_information = {'city': 'San Francisco', 'name': 'Sam', "food": "shrimps"}

>>> # delete the key, value pair with the key “food”
>>> del person1_information["food"]

>>> # print the present personal1_information. Note that the key, value pair “food”: “shrimps” is not there anymore.
>>> print(person1_information)
{'city': 'San Francisco', 'name': 'Sam'}

# Basic syntax:
del dictionary['key']

# Example usage:
dictionary = {'a': 3, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4, 'e': 5}
del dictionary['c'] # Remove the 'c' key:value pair from dictionary
dictionary
--> {'a': 3, 'b': 2, 'd': 4, 'e': 5}

mydict = {'score1': 41, 'score2': 23, 'score3': 45}

del mydict['score2']
print(mydict)
{'score1': 41, 'score3': 45}
