- Dictionary objects have an odd new method, popitem(). This removes
|
||||
an arbitrary item from the dictionary and returns it (in the form of
|
||||
a (key, value) pair). This can be useful for algorithms that use a
|
||||
dictionary as a bag of "to do" items and repeatedly need to pick one
|
||||
item. Such algorithms normally end up running in quadratic time;
|
||||
using popitem() they can usually be made to run in linear time.
