Solution

The del keyword in Python is used to delete objects in Python. In the context of dictionaries, it can be used in several ways:

  1. del a[key] - This will delete the key-value pair from the dictionary a where key is the specific key you want to remove.

  2. del a - This will delete the entire dictionary a.

So, to answer your question:

  • del a deletes the entire dictionary.
  • del a[key] deletes the key and its associated value from the dictionary.

Note: There is no specific del method for a dictionary. It's a built-in Python keyword that operates on various objects, not just dictionaries.
