x={1: [6, 3], 4: [6, 9]}
For example the result could return only the first key or the second key.

1You can `print(x.keys())` – jvx8ss Dec 19 '22 at 14:57

1What have you tried so far? Do you want to print any random key? – Firefighting Physicist Dec 19 '22 at 14:57

x.keys() would actually print both the keys. I want to print individual key – Image Privacy Dec 19 '22 at 14:59

yes i want to print a random key – Image Privacy Dec 19 '22 at 14:59

2`import random` and `print(random.choice(list(x.keys())))` – jvx8ss Dec 19 '22 at 15:00

what if i want a specific key value? – Image Privacy Dec 19 '22 at 15:02
-
for value: `print(random.choice(list(x.values())))` for key and value: `print(random.choice(list(x.items())))` – jvx8ss Dec 19 '22 at 15:04

1`print(1)` should do the trick. – luk2302 Dec 19 '22 at 15:05

*"I want a random key but also a specific one, please help me understand what I actually want"*... – luk2302 Dec 19 '22 at 15:06

i want a specific key – Image Privacy Dec 19 '22 at 15:08

What is wrong with `print(1)` then? What is that you actually want, why, how, ...? – luk2302 Dec 19 '22 at 15:10

print(1) would print 1. but I want to print a specific key of a dictionary. It could be any key – Image Privacy Dec 19 '22 at 15:12

***WHICH*** SPECIFIC KEY? And why? Where does that key come from? What does it have to do with the dictionary at all if you already have the key just print it. – luk2302 Dec 19 '22 at 15:14

i need to use specific keys of a dictionary. All the keys individually. The dictionary need not be the same. I just set an example. It could be any dictionary. – Image Privacy Dec 19 '22 at 15:16

Why the 4 in "For example the result should give only 4."? It looks like a random key rather than a specific one – jvx8ss Dec 19 '22 at 15:19

1This is absolutely hopeless :D we told you how to print a specific key, a random key, all keys - but all that was apparently incorrect, you still want "a specific key" that does not fall into any of these three categories. – luk2302 Dec 19 '22 at 15:20
-
4 is a specific key. I just set an example. Is there a way to use individual keys without any loop? – Image Privacy Dec 19 '22 at 15:21
-
1By the way this is a VERY good example of why giving too few / a single example is just to little information. An undoubtedly correct answer to the current question is `print(4)`, it fits all the requirements in the question. – luk2302 Dec 19 '22 at 15:22
-
So you *do* want a random key, which is what jvx8ss commented 25 minutes ago, congrats. – luk2302 Dec 19 '22 at 15:27
-
The thing is I am not using a single dictionary. so i cannot just use print(4). – Image Privacy Dec 19 '22 at 15:27

Convert the dictionary to a list of tuples and just access an element
key = list(x)[0]
