Getting All Keys from a Dictionary in Python

To get all keys from a dictionary, use the keys method. Its parameter is empty. The method returns a special object dict_keys.

Let us have the following dictionary:

dct = {
	'a': 1,
	'b': 2,
	'c': 3
}

Let's output all the keys from it:

res = dct.keys()
print(res) # dict_keys(['a', 'b', 'c'])

To make it easier to work with the dict_keys object, you can convert it to a list. This is done using the list function:

res = list(dct.keys())
print(res) # ['a', 'b', 'c']

Given a dictionary:

dct = {
	'x': 1,
	'y': 2,
	'z': 3
}

Get his keys.

}

Get his keys.

Given a dictionary:

Get a list of keys for this dictionary.

Given a dictionary:

dct = {
	2: 'ab',

Get the product of all keys in the given dictionary.

Given a dictionary:

dct = {
	1: 'x',
