Introduction
Welcome to our exploration of Compound Data Structures in Python. Having navigated through Dictionaries, Sets, and Tuples, we'll delve into nested dictionaries and lists. These structures enable us to handle complex and hierarchical data, which is typical in real-world scenarios. This lesson will guide you through a recap of the basics, the creation and modification of nested dictionaries and lists, as well as common error handling.
Recap: Dictionaries, Lists, and Understanding Nested Structures
As a quick recap, Lists are mutable, ordered collections, while Dictionaries are collections of key-value pairs. These structures can be nested. Here's a simple example of a school directory:
Creating Nested Dictionaries and Lists
Just like their non-nested versions, creating nested structures is straightforward.
