How to call the key of an element in a dictionary?

Question

Is there a function or an attribute to return the key of a certain element in a dictionary in python when the element is known? If so... what is it?
Any help will be appreciated:)

Answer 1

'keys' method take no arguments. So, in my code,
'for i in ab' is same as 'for i in ab.keys()'. If you want to search for values in dictionary, use ab.values(). Want to get both? use ab.items().

Answer 2

ab = {'Names':'James','Age':22}
for i in ab:
if ab[i] == 22:
print(i)
Is it what you want?

Answer 3

Yes.... that 'i'. is there a function or an attribute in python to get it? like... index attribute in lists?
Thanks for the reply:)

Answer 4

Yes thank you.
That's what I wanted to know.....☺

Answer 5

so.... in your code:

{ for i in ab: } == ab.keys(22)
{ if ab[i] == 22: }
{ print(i) }

???

Answer 6

nameofdict.get(nameofkey)

Answer 7

In my code, 'i' is the key-name string. i.e 'i' may be 'Names' or 'Age'. You can call dictionary key-names via like this:
ab.keys() . That's dictionary's method to grab key-names.
