Python | Check if key has Non-None value in dictionary

Sometimes, while working with Python dictionaries, we might come across a problem in which we need to find if a particular key of dictionary is valid i.e it is not False or has a non None value. This kind of problem can occur in Machine Learning domain. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this problem can be solved.

Method #1 : Using if
This task can simply be solved using the conditional operator "if". The if statement autochecks for the truthness of any statement and hence with the key’s value.

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Check if key has Non-None value in dictionary
# Using if

# Initialize dictionary
test_dict = {'gfg' : None, 'is' : 4, 'for' : 2, 'CS' : 10}

# printing original dictionary
print("The original dictionary : " +  str(test_dict))

# Using if
# Check if key has Non-None value in dictionary
res = False
if test_dict['gfg']:
    res = True

# printing result
print("Does gfg have a Non-None value? : " + str(res))

Output :

The original dictionary : {‘gfg’: None, ‘is’: 4, ‘for’: 2, ‘CS’: 10}
Does gfg have a Non-None value? : False

Method #2 : Using bool() + get()
The above functions together can be used to perform this particular task. The get performs the task of getting the value corresponding a key and bool function checks for truthfulness.

# Python3 code to demonstrate working of
# Check if key has Non-None value in dictionary
# Using bool() + get()

# Initialize dictionary
test_dict = {'gfg' : None, 'is' : 4, 'for' : 2, 'CS' : 10}

# printing original dictionary
print("The original dictionary : " +  str(test_dict))

# Using bool() + get()
# Check if key has Non-None value in dictionary
res = bool(test_dict.get('gfg'))

# printing result
print("Does gfg have a Non-None value? : " + str(res))

Output :

The original dictionary : {‘gfg’: None, ‘is’: 4, ‘for’: 2, ‘CS’: 10}
Does gfg have a Non-None value? : False
