Iterate dict in python using next()

Question

Is it possible to iterate dictionary in python using next(). (I need to access keys and values). Also would it work for extendable dictionaries with non-fixed length?

Answer 1

Use items to get the pairs key/value and iter() to be able to call next

content = dict(zip(range(10), range(10, 20)))
print(content)  # {0: 10, 1: 11, 2: 12, 3: 13, 4: 14, 5: 15, 6: 16, 7: 17, 8: 18, 9: 19}

iterable = iter(content.items())
print(next(iterable))  # (0, 10)
print(next(iterable))  # (1, 11)
print(next(iterable))  # (2, 12)
print(next(iterable))  # (3, 13)
