Removing Elements from Dictionary by Key in Python

To remove an element from a dictionary, you can use the del operator. Let's look at an example. Let's say we have the following dictionary:

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

Let's remove the element with key 'a':

del dct['a']

Let's look at the result:

print(dct) # {'b': 2, 'c': 3}

Given a dictionary:

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

Remove from it the element with key 'x'.

Given a dictionary:

dct = {
	1: 'a',
	2: 'b',
	3: 'c',
	4: 'd',
	5: 'e'
}

Write the code to get the following result:

{1: 'a', 3: 'c', 5: 'e'}
