Hi Guys,

I have a dictionary dataset in the Jupyter notebook. I want to convert it into a list.

Can anyone tell me how can I convert it?

Hi@akhtar

You can convert a dictionary dataset into a list using items() function. I have attached an example for your reference.

• ​Initialization of dictionary 

$ dict = { 'Jack': 10, 'Pop': 12, 'Bob': 31 }

• Converting into a list of tuple   

$ list = list(dict.items())

• Printing list of tuple

$ print(list) 

• Output: 

[('Jack', 10), ('Pop', 12), ('Bob', 31)]
