Python Basics- Dictionaries

Dictionary is another useful type in Python and it is indexed by keys(any immutable type).
Today we will learn how to store/extract/deleting a value with some key using dictionaries.
You can find more details here- Python Dictionaries

Following is a given dictionary where we will do some hand on-

  • Add a key to inventory called 'pocket'.
  • Set the value of 'pocket' to be a list consisting of the strings 'seashell', 'strange berry', and 'lint'.
  • sort()the items in the list stored under the 'backpack' key.
  • Then .remove('dagger') from the list of items stored under the 'backpack' key.
  • Add 50 to the number stored under the 'gold' key.


  • Create two new dictionaries called prices and stocks using {} format like the example above.
  • Put these values in your prices dictionary:  "banana": 4,"apple": 2,"orange": 1.5,"pear": 3
  • Put these values in your stocks dictionary:  "banana": 12,"apple": 24,"orange": 15,"pear": 35
  • Loop through each key in prices. For each key, print out the key along with its price and stock information. 



  • First, make a list called groceries with the values "banana","orange", and "apple".
  • Define this two dictionaries:

stock = { "banana": 6, "apple": 0, "orange": 32, "pear": 15 }
prices = { "banana": 4, "apple": 2, "orange": 1.5, "pear": 3 }

  • Define a function compute_bill that takes one argument food as input.
  •  In the function, create a variable total with an initial value of zero. 
  • For each item in the food list, add the price of that item to total. 
  • Finally, return the total. Ignore whether or not the item you're billing for is in stock. Note that your function should work for any food list.
  • Make the following changes to your compute_bill function:
  • While you loop through each item of food, only add the price of the item to total if the item's stock count is greater than zero.
  • If the item is in stock and after you add the price to the total, subtract one from the item's stock count.

So keep practicing by your own with above examples in your notebook and comment if you face any issue.

Generative AI with LangChain: Basics

  Wishing everyone a Happy New Year '24😇 I trust that you've found valuable insights in my previous blog posts. Embarking on a new learning adventure with this latest post, we'll delve into the realm of Generative AI applications using LangChain💪. This article will initially cover the basics of Language Models and LangChain. Subsequent posts will guide you through hands-on experiences with various Generative AI use cases using LangChain. Let's kick off by exploring the essential fundamentals💁 What is a Large Language Model (LLM)? A large language model denotes a category of artificial intelligence (AI) models that undergo extensive training with extensive textual data to comprehend and produce language resembling human expression🙇. Such a large language model constitutes a scaled-up transformer model, often too extensive for execution on a single computer. Consequently, it is commonly deployed as a service accessible through an API or web interface. These models are...

How can I become a TPU expert?

Another post starts with you beautiful people! I have two good news for all of you! First good news is that Tensorflow has released it's new version (TF 2.1) which is focused on TPUs and the most interesting thing about this release is that it now also supports Keras high level API. And second wonderful news is to help us get started Kaggle has launched a TPU Playground Challenge . This means there is no any way to stop you learning & using TPUs. In this post I am going to share you how to configure and use TPUs while solving a image classification problem. What are TPUs? You must have heard about TPU while using  Google Colab . Now Kaggle also supports this hardware accelerator. TPUs or Tensor Processing Units are hardware accelerators specialized in deep learning tasks. They were created by Google and have been behind many cutting edge results in machine learning research. Kaggle Notebooks are configured with TPU v3-8s, which is a specialized hardware with...

How to convert your YOLOv4 weights to TensorFlow 2.2.0?

Another post starts with you beautiful people! Thank you all for your overwhelming response in my last two posts about the YOLOv4. It is quite clear that my beloved aspiring data scientists are very much curious to learn state of the art computer vision technique but they were not able to achieve that due to the lack of proper guidance. Now they have learnt exact steps to use a state of the art object detection and recognition technique from my last two posts. If you are new to my blog and want to use YOLOv4 in your project then please follow below two links- How to install and compile Darknet code with GPU? How to train your custom data with YOLOv4? In my  last post we have trained our custom dataset to identify eight types of Indian classical dance forms. After the model training we have got the YOLOv4 specific weights file as 'yolo-obj_final.weights'. This YOLOv4 specific weight file cannot be used directly to either with OpenCV or with TensorFlow currently becau...
