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.

How to use opencv-python with Darknet's YOLOv4?

Another post starts with you beautiful people 😊 Thank you all for messaging me your doubts about Darknet's YOLOv4. I am very happy to see in a very short amount of time my lovely aspiring data scientists have learned a state of the art object detection and recognition technique. If you are new to my blog and to computer vision then please check my following blog posts one by one- Setup Darknet's YOLOv4 Train custom dataset with YOLOv4 Create production-ready API of YOLOv4 model Create a web app for your YOLOv4 model Since now we have learned to use YOLOv4 built on Darknet's framework. In this post, I am going to share with you how can you use your trained YOLOv4 model with another awesome computer vision and machine learning software library-  OpenCV  and of course with Python 🐍. Yes, the Python wrapper of OpenCV library has just released it's latest version with support of YOLOv4 which you can install in your system using below command- pip install opencv-pyt...

How to install and compile YOLO v4 with GPU enable settings in Windows 10?

Another post starts with you beautiful people! Last year I had shared a post about  installing and compiling Darknet YOLOv3   in your Windows machine and also how to detect an object using  YOLOv3 with Keras . This year on April' 2020 the fourth generation of YOLO has arrived and since then I was curious to use this as soon as possible. Due to my project (built on YOLOv3 :)) work I could not find a chance to check this latest release. Today I got some relief and successfully able to install and compile YOLOv4 in my machine. In this post I am going to share a single shot way to do the same in your Windows 10 machine. If your machine does not have GPU then you can follow my  previous post  by just replacing YOLOv3 related files with YOLOv4 files. For GPU having Windows machine, follow my steps to avoid any issue while building the Darknet repository. My machine has following configurations: Windows 10 64 bit Intel Core i7 16 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce G...

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...
