The syntax of the items() method is as follows:

dict.items() 

The items() method returns the list of dictionary's (key, value) tuple pairs:

 >>> dict1 = d={1:'one',2:'two',3:'three'}
 >>> dict1.items()
 [(1, 'one'), (2, 'two'), (3, 'three')]
 >>>

Sometimes, we need to delete all the items of a dictionary. This can be done by using the clear() method.
