Answer
The differences between pop( ) and popitem( ) are mentioned below:
| pop( ) | popitem( ) |
|---|---|
| pop( ) removes the item with the specified key name. | popitem( ) removes the last inserted item from the dictionary. |
| With pop( ), we can specify a return value or a message if the given key is not found in the dictionary. | With popitem( ), we cannot specify any such message/return value while deleting from an empty dictionary. It will raise an error in this case. |
