    A list of dictionaries in Python is simply a list where each element is a dictionary containing key-value pairs. This structure is useful for storing collections of related records.

    Example: Creating and accessing a list of dictionaries

    people = [
    {"name": "Alice", "age": 25, "city": "New York"},
    {"name": "Bob", "age": 30, "city": "Los Angeles"},
    {"name": "Charlie", "age": 35, "city": "Chicago"}
    ]

    # Access the second dictionary
    print(people[1]) # {'name': 'Bob', 'age': 30, 'city': 'Los Angeles'}

    # Access a specific value
    print(people[0]['name']) # Alice
    Copied!

    Here, people is a list containing three dictionaries, each representing a person.

    Creating a List of Dictionaries

    • Direct Initialization You can directly define dictionaries inside a list:

    data = [{"A": 1}, {"B": 2}, {"C": 3}]
    Copied!

    • Using a Loop Useful when generating dictionaries dynamically:

    records = []
    for i in range(3):
    records.append({"id": i+1, "value": i*10})
    Copied!

    • List Comprehension A concise way to create them:
