How to extract values from a dictionary?

Question

How am I supposed to extract the value 1234 from "password"?

account = {
    'Dicky': {
        'password': 1234,
        'balance': {
            'USD': 10,
            'HKD': 10000
        }
    }
}

Do you mean extract? You could use `account["Dicky"]["password"]` — Heike, Mar 10 '21 at 14:25

to extract values form dict:

dict["key"]

so in your case because there is a nested dict:

dict["1stkey"]["2ndkey"]

so:

account["Dicky"]["password"]

In Python, a nested dictionary is a dictionary inside a dictionary. example:

nested_dict = { 'dictA': {'key_1': 'value_1'},
            'dictB': {'key_2': 'value_2'}}

so:

nested_dict['dict1']['key_A']--->'value_A'

this question

account = {
'Dicky': {
    'password': 1234,
    'balance': {
        'USD': 10,
        'HKD': 10000
        }
     }
 }

account["Dicky"]["password"]
print(account["Dicky"]["password"])
1234
