在While循环中打印字典

Question

I have been looking around to see if anyone has actually done it but couldn't find it so hoping I can get some help here.

newDict = {'Jan':31, 'Feb':29, 'Mar':31, 'Apr':30, 'May':31, 'Jun':30, 'Jul':31, 'Aug':30}

I created this dict and I want to use a while loop to output it this way:

Jan 31
Feb 29
Mar 31
Apr 30
May 31
Jun 30
Jul 31
Aug 30

I am able to do it with a for loop, just curious how it can be done with a while loop.

Answer 1

You can make your dictionary an iterator calling iteritems (Python 2.x), or iter on the items() (Python 3.x)

# Python 2.x
from __future__ import print_function
items = newDict.iteritems()

# Python 3.x
items = iter(newDict.items())

while True:
    try: 
        item = next(items)
        print(*item)
    except StopIteration:
        break

Note: We're importing print_function on Python 2.x because print would be a statement instead of a function, and hence the line print(*item) would actually fail

Answer 2

Here's another option, using the .pop method.

newDict = {
    'Jan':31, 'Feb':29, 'Mar':31, 'Apr':30, 
    'May':31, 'Jun':30, 'Jul':31, 'Aug':30
}
t = newDict.items()
while t:
    print '%s %d' % t.pop()

typical output

Jul 31
Jun 30
Apr 30
Aug 30
Feb 29
Mar 31
May 31
Jan 31

This code doesn't modify the contents of newDict , since in Python 2 dict.items() creates a list of the (key, value) pairs of the dictionary. In Python 3 it returns a dynamic View object, which doesn't have a .pop method, so this code won't work there.

Bear in mind that a dict is an unordered collection, so the output order may not be what you expect.

Answer 3

Use following code:

key=list(newDict.keys())
i=0
while i<len(key):
    print(key[i]," ",newDict[key[i]])
    i+=1

Answer 4

You can do this with while loop.

newDict = {'Jan':31, 'Feb':29, 'Mar':31, 'Apr':30, 'May':31, 'Jun':30, 'Jul':31, 'Aug':30}
i = 0
while i < len(newDict):
    val = newDict.items()[i]
    print val[0], val[1]
    i += 1

Answer 5

This is an absurd requirement, but here is one way to do it:

newDict = {'Jan':31, 'Feb':29, 'Mar':31, 'Apr':30, 'May':31, 'Jun':30, 'Jul':31, 'Aug':30}

while newDict:
  x = next(x for x in newDict)
  print(x, newDict.pop(x))

CAUTION:

After the while has finished executing, newDIct will be empty .

Answer 6

You can use iterator

Python 2.7

new_dict = {'Jan':31, 'Feb':29, 'Mar':31, 'Apr':30, 'May':31, 'Jun':30, 'Jul':31, 'Aug':30}
a = iter(new_dict.iteritems())
default = object()

while a:
    elem = next(a, default)
    # This check is to know whether iterator is exhausted or not.
    if elem is default:
        break
    print "{} {}".format(*elem)

Python 3

new_dict = {'Jan':31, 'Feb':29, 'Mar':31, 'Apr':30, 'May':31, 'Jun':30, 'Jul':31, 'Aug':30}
a = iter(new_dict.items())
default = object()

while a:
    elem = next(a, default)
    # This check is to know whether iterator is exhausted or not.
    if elem is default:
        break
    print("{} {}".format(*elem))
