Return first N key:value pairs from dict

Question

Consider the following dictionary, d:

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

I want to return the first N key:value pairs f

Answer 1

To get the top N elements from your python dictionary one can use the following line of code:

list(dictionaryName.items())[:N]

In your case you can change it to:

list(d.items())[:4]
