What is Dictionary in Python?

 A dictionary is a data structure used to store data as key–value pairs. One is Keyword and another is Value for that keyword.

Example:

person = {"name": "Manoj", "age": 15, "city": "Chennai"}


Values in a dictionary are accessed using keys instead of index numbers.

person = {"name": "Mohan", "age": 25, "city": "Chennai"}

print(person["name"])

It will print the value for the key "name".


Dictionaries are changeable (mutable). You can update old values with new values using the key.

person = {"name": "Raj", "age": 25}

person["age"] = 30

print(person)


A dictionary can also store different data types in the same structure.

person = {"name": "Kavi", "age": 25, "height": 175.5, "is_employee": True}

What is a Python Library?

When we use Python for data analysis, machine learning, or any programming, we do not write each and every code. Why Should we? Some experts already wrote code for us and packed it as a Library. This reusable collection of code is called a Python Library . A library in Python is like a ready-made toolbox. Instead of building every tool yourself, you take the tools from the toolbox and start using it in your code. Why do we need Python Libraries? Save time – We do not write the same code again and again. Easy to use – Just install, import, and start using. Powerful features – Some libraries can do complex tasks in one line of code. Community support – Big communities maintain them, so they keep improving. Examples of Python Data Science Libraries: Pandas – Works with data tables like Excel, filtering and summarizing data NumPy – Works with numbers, arrays, mathematical calculations Matplotlib – Creates graphs and charts Scikit-learn – For machine learning models like regres...

Gen AI Chat Bot Python Project using Sentence transformer model all-MiniLM-L6-v2

Step 1 – Import libraries needed for text encoding, similarity calculation, and chatbot interface. SentenceTransformer – Converts sentences into numerical vectors so machines can understand the meaning of text. scikit-learn (cosine_similarity) – Calculates similarity between two text vectors to find how closely related they are. NumPy – Used for numerical computing, arrays, matrices, and fast mathematical operations. Pandas – U sed for handling datasets in table format such as reading data, filtering, cleaning, and manipulating rows and columns. ipywidgets – Creates interactive UI elements like text boxes, buttons, sliders, and dropdowns in notebook environments. IPython.display – Displays widgets, HTML, images, and formatted output inside notebooks. Step 2 – Loading the model – SentenceTransformer loads the model "all-MiniLM-L6-v2" which converts sentences into numerical embeddings. Step 3 – Creating product data – A dictionary is created with product names and product de...
