When would you use an array and a dictionary?
Arraylists just store a set of objects (that can be accessed randomly). Dictionaries store pairs of objects. This makes array/lists more suitable when you have a group of objects in a set (prime numbers, colors, students, etc.). Dictionaries are better suited for showing relationships between a pair of objects.

Which is faster list or dictionary Python?

Can we have a string as the index in a dictionary?
String indices must be integers. This means that when you’re accessing an iterable object like a string, you must do it using a numerical value. If you are accessing items from a dictionary, make sure that you are accessing the dictionary itself and not a key in the dictionary.

How to create an arraydictionary in Java?
Create an ArrayDicitonary, using(not copying) the given pair of arrays as keys and values. ArrayDictionary(java.util.Vector keys, java.util.Vector values) Create an ArrayDictionary, contructing the arrays of keys and values from the two given vectors.
How are lists and dictionaries alike and different?
Dictionaries are like lists, but the elements of dictionaries are accessed in a different way than for lists. The elements of lists and arrays are numbered consecutively, and to access an element of a list or an array, you simply refer to the number corresponding to its position in the sequence.
